A hardcore platform game for the PICO-8 fantasy console.
Tutankham is a combination of the maze, action and shoot 'em up genres. Taking on the role of an explorer grave robbing Tutankhamun's tomb, the player is chased by creatures such as asps, vultures, parrots, bats, dragons, and even curses, all that kill the player on contact. The explorer can fight back by firing lasers at the creatures, but he can only cover the left and right directions. The player is also endowed with a single screen-clearing "flash bomb" per level or life. Finally, each level has warp zones that teleport the player around the level, which enemies cannot use. To progress, the player collects keys open locked doors throughout the levels, searching for the large exit door. Optional treasures can be picked-up for bonus points. Each level has a timer; when it reaches zero the explorer can no longer fire lasers, and once a level is cleared the remaining time is converted to bonus points.

Pizza Panda is a fast-paced pizza-delivery platformer for the PICO-8 fantasy console. Players take on the role of a panda who drives a cartoonishly agile car, jumping around small vertically oriented cityscape-style levels in order to collect pizza and deliver it directly into the mouths of various animals who are sticking their heads out of the windows of buildings. Each level presents the photographs of one or more animals to which the player must deliver the pizza, some of them wearing hats which the player must correctly place upon the animals' heads in order to make a valid delivery. There are also baby rats crawling on the roofs of some buildings which must be collected and delivered to their papa without letting them be eaten by cats. In order to accomplish these things, the player stacks pizzas, hats, and baby rats on the roof of the car and traverses the level, either touching or avoiding certain NPCs. Finding an efficient route through each level is encouraged through the use of a target time; if the player completes all the objectives of a level within the target time, a star is awarded for that level.
