- Heart Score 2020-03-22
My first pico-8 game. A simple, endless high-score game about collecting pellets without letting them expire.
- Cake Jump 2020-03-25
A platforming game. pico-8 has a very limited amount of space for levels, so this platformer only has one. The game times your progress and keeps track of a high score.
- Space Shoot 2020-03-31
A bullet hell. Spaceship with a gun, you have three lives and three bombs to manage enemies with. Enemies physically degrade as they take damage.
