put in a title and some sound design! currently at 1021 bytes so probably done with this :) #pico8 #pico1k

I've finally come up with a batshit idea for #PICO1K: attempt to cram a Pac-Man clone into 1KB. As you can see, I have not made much progress yet. I'm not sure how to generate the mazes, for one thing. But it'll be fun to try.

uh oh

I was over the limit, so I got rid of the two tiny functions I did have and inlined everything instead. Now I have a sweet 2 bytes to play with. 😀 #pico1k #pico8

hello, new game!!

Snake's Digits 🐍🖐

😤 snake hungry, but snake no like mess.
🧹 snake tidy up.
✌️ snake count snake's digits.
🍽️ snake eat!

😬 ... but snake fragile.

made for #pico1k, holds in 1023 bytes!! #pico8 #nerd

play now! punkcake.itch.io/snake-digits

My #pico1k #pico8 attempt is becoming a sort of 'make a little garden' game. You need to periodically harvest something to keep playing, but the enemies had to go due to lack of bytes.

Again. You feel exhausted and beaten. When you enter the parking lot, you realize you have no idea where you've parked your car.

I made a short Narrative game about self-care for the #pico1k jam in exactly 1024 bytes.

You can click/tap the petals to pluck them and progress the story.

Hope you enjoy <3

This is never going to fit into 1k but I'll give it a go.

Some cheap #pico8 worldgen for a possible #pico1k game:

cls()for y=40,127do line(0,y,128,y,y/16-1)end pal(4,0)for i=1,14000do x,y=rnd(128),rnd(120) circfill(x,y,y/20,pget(x,y+.3))end

Get Blue Balls! #pico8 #pico1k

hmmm #pico1k #pico8

Oooh, someone managed to make a Picross game for #Pico1K. I tried that last year and failed, I'll have to try this out for sure.

so here's what it takes to shave off ~60 bytes from a #pico8 cart. not a true #codegolf though, as carts for #pico1k jam use pxa compression and one has to counterintuitively repeat the code to make it similar. well, anyway i managed to put the outro into 4 bytes.
