Beware the apex preditor of the pond! Should've stayed under that lillypad.

Everything is procedurally animated, giving me way smoother movement than would've been possible with sprites in pico8.

"Pattern Recognition"

She’s at the screen and won’t let it go.
"We have to split, kid. Now!"
"Almost got it. It’s not random."
"They'll lock down the zone any moment."
"But I can see the pattern."
"THIS ZONE IS OFF LIMITS!"

“I want to live forever!” she spat at the clock. “y0:UR W1:5H 5E:t5 31:nE L1:FE Fr:EE” the silent laughter howled back.

I just released an OLD SCHOOL TEXT ADVENTURE!

It's part of a yearly holiday collection of games that release one game a day until Christmas day -- an Advent Calendar of Games if you will! Have fun playing!

#gamedev #indiedev How many days do you need to defeat Karnoth ?

I need to send you a unique link, but can't seem to direct message you? Let me know if there's an alternative way to contact you directly.

No worries, Tréveron.
It is a month-long jam for reasons like this (e.g. so ppl don't feel pressured to get it done in a week/end).
But, it's also intended to be a "relaxed" one...
So, if u send me the itch URL of ur entry when published, I'll add it as a late submission, on this occasion 😉

Blue and Lefty is up on the BBS with some dev GIFs showing how the gfx&map data is stored in 360 bytes by encoding it as repetitive P8SCII sequences:

heya folks! i made my first pico-8 game, and it's for the pico-1k jam 2025!

it's a game where you're an rc car and you're trying to collect batteries :D

you can play it from here:
mors-games.itch.io/drift1k

and yes, as per the jam's rules, the game is under 1024 bytes!

#pico1k #pico8 #gamedev

apparently there's a pico-8 game jam going on where the goal is to make a game under 1kb. that's 1024 bytes! sounds like a fun excuse to make my first pico-8 game :D

though, turns out it's over in less than 24hrs...

well, i guess im speedrunning it then! #pico1k #pico8 #gamedev

The car picks the driver and the driver screams.

This started as a #pico1k game but went off the rails

Finished up my entry for this year's #pico1K Jam!

Pivop1K is a demake of an older game of mine squished all the way down to a single kilobyte of compressed source code!

Wow! That's so small for all this head-swinging action!

1k Rally by Andrew Play in your browser

I have also made a 1k racing game. Honestly it's kind of wild what you can fit into 1kB of Lua, a decidedly not-small language, even if we are compressing it by nearly 50%. There's some really cool stuff in the #Pico1k jam.

"Caverns of the Souleater"
Father told you these caverns hold a great treasure. But all you've found are endless tunnels and venomous snakes. As your torch burns low, you wonder if the gold was ever real. And why he didn't share this with your brother?!
