    Jimbo the Frog, now on @itchio !

    dug this game up from the basement of an earlier pico8 project I had started while contracting in Tokyo back in Spring, due to requests for changes and interest in the game over the months.

    this game is what I've always wanted pac-man to feel like. just simply faster, more aggressive, and with hitstops. 😛

    you’re a frog in a generated maze. Eat every pip to clear it!

  2. Princess Mochi is now live on @itchio!

    thanks to the pico8 community on discord for the help, especially around nailing the shadow and mode7 snippets, which was instrumental in nailing the terrain aesthetic. discord.gg/WSzHqpXqe

  3. However, Fox & Clocks & Blocks in a Box is designed for players to write their own puzzles, load them into the game, and share them on social media. Instructions for writing and playing new levels are on the game’s itch.io page.

  4. There are now 12 puzzles for “Fox & Clocks & Blocks in a Box” on its itch.io page. One for every hour. The later ones get quite tricky.

  5. I built a 1k #Pico8 pinball game for the #Pico1k jam.

    It's not the most fun pinball game out there, but it's surprisingly functional compared to what I thought I'd manage to cram into 1024 bytes

  6. And another. This is more of a sokoban-style challenge.

  8. Princess Mochi is a marionette now. 🎀
    she’s assembled from 7 pieces, each chasing your strafe on its own clock.
    her pigtails are tiny springs, thrusters flame based on direction, and somehow it all fits in a cart that’s 99.2% full. 🚀
    3 BGMs done.

  9. "Fox & Clocks & Blocks in a Box": a puzzle game with pixel-art graphics, sound effects, multiple levels, and user-generated content that can be shared among players on social media... in 912 bytes of compressed #Pico8 code.

    It is interesting and undoubtedly a masterpiece, but it is a very stressful and exhausting game, so I probably won't play a second playthrough.

  11. Making the clocks tick on every move makes the puzzles MUCH too hard.

  12. Working on an idea for the #Pico1k jam: a puzzle game based on clock arithmetic (also known as modular arithmetic).

    Currently clocking in (d'ya see what I did there?) at 853 bytes.

    Not sure what to call it. "Clockoban"? "Fox 'n' Clocks 'n' Blocks in a Box"? ...
