Popular games built on game engine PICO-8
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.

Tower Noire is a small coffeebreak roguelike inspired by Cave Noire, Little Nemo, and Powder, created for 7DRL 2018 in PICO-8. I ended up reusing old, long-abandoned assets and concepts to be able to complete something in 7 days. Gameplay Tips: * The goal is to get to the 25th floor and defeat an enemy there, so plan accordingly. * Your starting equipment will very quickly need to be upgraded. * Passive effects for weapons may be more useful than additional strength. * Some passives affect positioning and can help you from getting cornered. * Get a sense for the room before running straight in. Some enemies can kill you pretty easily in 1x1 hallways. * Explore the room carefully for easy enemies that drop edible items and items scattered around. * Falling down a hole will damage you and also let the enemies take a turn. On harder floors this can do a lot of damage. * Move slowly.
