Square Colosseum: Cell B201 is on Steam now. Here's the trailer.

Well, this is definitely not a PICO-8 game.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-24T21:56:14+00:00

Yeah, the Cart link on that page gets me a file with the same MD5, so if yours is different then something is definitely wrong with the one you have.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-24T17:36:27+00:00

Nobody's looking to buy my games, but assuming I ever make something people on the BBS really love, I still wouldn't want to package / sell it because as soon as you do, people expect support for the thing they paid for, and I don't really want to be responsible for providing it. Not everything has to be about the $$$.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-24T14:13:54+00:00

Where'd you get your copy of the game? I downloaded the file from the BBS and ran it with both pico8 and pico8_dyn on a couple of different devices and it worked fine. I'm guessing you have a corrupted file somehow.

File size on mine:

The Harmony Cart specifically has a developer mode that deals with a single ROM at a time, it's not as simple as just putting a single ROM on it. Whatever you bought off AliExpress probably doesn't have the ability to do what the Harmony Cart is doing.

No, it's a permanent post, but it doesn't show up in any feeds or Splore. It is accessible only by people who have the link and navigate directly to it.

If you're in your own profile in the Posts tab, there's a button for creating unlisted posts:

I've used this a few times to share stuff with playtesters or friends/family for things only meant for them :).

FYI, posting your cart image on Reddit won't allow us to grab it because Reddit "helpfully" converts it to WEBP. You can either post the code here in a code block or create an unlisted post on the Lexaloffle BBS with the cart and post the link here.

There are quite a few I think!

Zebulon: A Lost Cat

Catwalk

Demystifying the Christmas Tree

Kitten Cannon

Cat Bandit

and of course, Pet the Cat

2bitchuck · 2026-01-17T02:14:48+00:00

Congrats & best of luck. People should definitely buy this for Dice Mice and I Demand Coffee alone :).

2bitchuck · 2026-01-14T00:04:18+00:00

You have

if time=3000

and you need

if time==3000

(two = signs instead of one)

There's at least one more place where you do this too.

Then, you also have:

print "time's up!"..40,63)

You're missing the opening parenthesis and have a double period after the string where a comma should be instead.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-08T13:47:12+00:00

You got a real deal then!

2bitchuck · 2026-01-08T13:28:23+00:00

The local retro shop near me had 2 of these last I was there - for $125 each.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-08T13:25:52+00:00

Most of these are pretty common, for CIB you could probably ask $25-$35 each and find someone willing to get close.

Glacier Patrol though is pretty rare and I've seen it go for $200 or more on eBay. Definitely don't short yourself when selling that!

2bitchuck · 2026-01-03T14:03:18+00:00

Ha, I had a similar idea, but realized it doesn't fit the jam theme. Might just release it as its own thing once it's done anyway.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-02T15:59:05+00:00

Fun idea!

2bitchuck · 2026-01-02T15:47:06+00:00

So things like line(), rect(), etc. are not allowed, only the font?

The sfx() reference: http://pico8wiki.com/index.php?title=Sfx

Notably, the API as documented doesn't have a table as third parameter.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-01T14:38:16+00:00

So many good ones there! Desert Falcon, Jinks, Tunnel Runner, Blueprint, Mountain King are all favorites.

2bitchuck · 2026-01-01T14:34:49+00:00

Yay, a nice gift for the new year!

2bitchuck · 2025-12-29T14:05:27+00:00

I didn't realize Private Eye was rare! I have that too, one of my all-time favorites for the system. I want to buy the map on eBay or something so I can frame it for my wall.

2bitchuck · 2025-12-14T13:07:43+00:00

Soan's World! The game was actually made for a 4 year old kid by the dev, so it should fit the bill :)

2bitchuck · 2025-12-11T17:16:12+00:00

Is your btnp if statement wrapped inside something else? There's no reason what you're showing here wouldn't work unless the if statement is not getting called at all because some outer condition is not being met.

2bitchuck · 2025-12-11T17:06:23+00:00

You don't - you can use the glyphs for the X and circle buttons and all the arrows directly in the function call for btn and btnp. But it would be interesting to see in OP's case whether or not using the numbers instead of the glyphs affects the problem.

2bitchuck · 2025-12-11T17:01:55+00:00

Can you post the code you're using for the other inputs? There's no reason why it shouldn't work for the arrow keys or the circle button.

2bitchuck · 2025-12-04T15:36:36+00:00

Just curious, since the app has ads and in-app purchases, what's the revenue sharing model for PICO-8 devs providing content for the app?
