PicoMace: a 1015 byte demake of PARTICLE MACE

Very pleased with my entry for #Pico1k Jam 2023!

Pico Mace is a 1015 byte demake of my own game, PARTICLE MACE made in PICO-8.

You can play and post your scores here: https://itch.io/jam/pico-1k-2023/rate/2284825

It has: ☄️ Asteroids & Enemies ✨ PARTICLES! 👷‍♀️ Screenshake 🧮 A lot of little effects I thought I'd have to cut

If you are curious about the source code, you can see the compressed code here and a thoroughly commented version here.

1K Pac-Man for Pico1K Jam

My entry to Pico1K Jam this year is a recreation of Pac-Man with just 1020 bytes of source code!

The full source comes to 1020 bytes of #pico8 code.

The part that I am most proud of is that all ghost behavior logic is faithful to the original.

You can play it here.

That page contains a link to heavily commented source code if you are curious about how it works!

One interesting thing about these is figuring out where to push polish vs functionality.

Most people will only see the gif. Most people who play will play exactly once. It's important to me that the game feel good, but optimizing for a good demo is usually where it's at.

Ex: I decided that scatter mode would be nice, but burning a ton of chars on the waka-waka mouth was the better choice.

Although I will say that Cold Sun Surf, my entry to this jam from 2 years ago is, a genuinely fun arcade game. I'm very pleased with how that one plays.

🌑🏄‍♂️Cold Sun Surf🏄🏽‍♀️🌑

Physics-y arcade action around a terrible sun crammed into 1016 bytes!

My entry to the #Pico1k jam! All games in this jam are created in Pico-8, can have no assets beyond the source code, and must be under 1 kilobyte in size.

It's got:

✨ Particles ⛽️ Fuel Management ⚛️ Physics 🔊 Sound 🤑 GREED 💀 Inevitable Death

Play it here: https://andymakes.itch.io/cold-sun-surf

The game page has links to the raw and annotated source code.

1K JUMP features:

🖼 Title screen 🔊 Sound effects 📈 Difficulty increase over time 💫 Procedural background 👁 A delightful spinning guy

Play it here: https://andymakes.itch.io/1k-jump

The full source code is on the game page, and if you want to learn more about how it works, I have a cleaned up & commented version of the code here:
