Nodes (Thirst for Shapes!) by @exquisite_bytes I love a game that lets you control difficulty in such a granular way. Fetch some shapes, but be careful which nodes you activate. You can go from puzzle-like to bullet hell very quickly. #pico8 exq-bytes.itch.io/nodes

Bonka Bash by Toybox Omega Hard to beat an arcade game. This one tics all the boxes for me. It's got a fun tune, simple and satisfying game play, a solid difficulty curve. I'd drop a few quarters. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9345…

Bricked! by Kreyk29 kreyk29.itch.io/ Absolute gem of an addicting puzzler. I played an earlier version and enjoyed it, but the updates have brought the game close to perfection. Lots of options to make the game exactly what you want, too. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9329…

Yo, Rainbow! by @LoverOfDucks What a fun time! This would have eaten a lot of my quarters in a different time. Controlling your yoyo and rainbow takes some skill, especially when you're also trying to platform, defeat enemies, and avoid spikes! #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=4327…

Bravo! adapted by speedyop I love a board game, and a solo strategy roll & write makes sense for video adaptation. None of that pesky need for other players or AI. This makes for a fun puzzle and a good way to spend some time. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9311…

CS-Cleaner by taxicomics I don't play CS:GO, but I enjoyed this bit of video game marginalia. Clean up the dead bodies left behind to get the map ready for the next round. PICO-8 seems like a great place to explore the spaces in between games. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9306…

Peral by Phvli youtube.com/user/Phvli There's just so much in this submarine game. The first time I got inked I laughed out loud. I don't love the control scheme, but the rest of the game makes you want to get used to it. Outstanding. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9288…

Fuzzy Dream by jonathan_go Fun bow shooter. I wish it was longer! Or at least had an endless mode. But a fun way to spend a minute or two. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9280…

Sphero by @elec_gryphon The sphere's only natural enemy is the ramp. Super fun; for me, the biggest triumph is creating a huge world that I wanted to explore out of such stark geometric art. Programmers will want to check out the code notes. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9232…

Spaceman 8 by Tic Tac Toad (@iLkKke and @kometbomb ) What a delight! I love zooming around space with thrusters and I love mining games, so this was basically made for me. The added physics from carrying gems is perfect. Highly recommended. #pico8 tictactoad.itch.io/spaceman8

Bald Boi: Dungeon of the Slimes by SandwichBlamwich My favorite kind of roguelike dungeon crawler drops you in with next to no information and lets you die early and often to figure it out. This is a fun one. Just don't wake the Slime Lord! #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9198…

Isometric Spellcaster by @D_Nocker I usually don't do demos/incompletes, but this was so much fun to play around with I had to share. The variety of spell types and shapes is really neat, and I'm excited to see where this goes. Go goof around! #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9202…

Orbz! by Unlucky Kitten This feels like the addictive mini-game you find in the middle of your rpg. Simple game play, simple music, but it combines into something that I want to keep playing. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9215…

Martial Cards by @Ludokultur Fun arena combat driven by cards. I love how many unique circumstances come out of the singular mechanic. I wish there was a way to build your deck, but there's something nice about being locked into the random cards. #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9177…

SWORDFISH by @DanHowardGames I love the movement in this game. Very satisfying to zoom around a pretty pixel ocean as a swordfish. It could have been a purely exploration based game and been great, but you also get a charge attack! #pico8 hauntpun.itch.io/swordfish

Oh High! by @Elastiskalinjen A simple mountain climber. There's something about a one button game that just makes sense on PICO-8. The stamina becomes very nerve wracking later on! #pico8 lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=9159…
