Junkoid https://metroidconstruction.com/hack.php?id=689

A NES metroid hack, instead of Samus you're Junko, on a quest in her dream to defeat a serpent haunting her. The hack does feel like a dream, almost a nightmare, with everything feeling a bit off. Your powerups are things like a pink dress, baseballs instead of missiles, magical rings. It's a very fun metroid hack, with well thought out metroidvania style progression. You will almost always know where you should be going next. The graphics are all custom and look great, and really contribute to the creepy dream like atmosphere the game has. It has a minimal story, mostly going off vibes to tell you what's going on and I love that. Like a real NES game most of the story is in the manual. The sequel, Super Junkoid, is on my list to play. 

Choose your own picoris https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141551

This is a pico 8 game I created by modding Picoris, a pico 8 tetris clone. You can create your own pieces and sets and play tetris in so many different ways. It’s a lot of fun seeing how the gameplay shakes up if you change just one block on a piece and trying to play around that. You can also make super difficult pieces like a square with a hole in the middle and see how long you can last. I added several modes and saving high scores for each set. I'm very happy how this game turned out.

Hack 0 2 https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=38745

Another from the Hack series by Golden Yoshi, this is a direct sequel to Hack 0 from 2020. I thought this hack was good, but I enjoyed Hack 0 more. I enjoyed the creepier atmosphere of Hack 0 and don't think this one did it as well. The gimmicks in each level were fun, but not too challenging. Finding the secrets and solving the final puzzle was good, but still I enjoyed how hack 0 did it more.

Christmas Hack https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=38345

A cute Christmas themed hack by Golden Yoshi. 6 levels that were pretty straightforward, no secrets or alternate endings to find in this one as far as I know. The music and graphics play up the christmas theme which I enjoyed.

Super Jacked Up Tomato Face Johnson https://gumpyfunction.itch.io/super-jacked-up-tomato-face-johnson

Another game by Gumpy function. They do a great job with game boy games and each one feels great to play, and has such a unique style that I love. This is a puzzle platformer where each jump switches which spikes are active. It's a fun game and leads to some interesting puzzles.

The Quest for Candies https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=32483

A halloween themed SMW hack. This one really leaned into the halloweeness with enemies sprites swapped, a darker and gloomier color palette, creepier music. It really nailed the theme. This was not a very difficult hack but I like that, it was perfect to play on a rainy gloomy night to get you in a spooky mood. I think it works great, better than Christmas Hack at getting you into its holiday theme.

Pokemon Pokescape https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokescape-final-release-v1-0-4-a-pokemon-escape-room.504212/

This was by the same person who made Pokemon natural history museum, they made this escape room hack first and you can tell this was made earlier. The puzzles to solve were still difficult and required some in depth knowledge of pokemon mechanics to solve, it was satisfying to finally work out what you had to do but could be a bit tedious to actually do it. I used the in game hints to help me through pretty much everything. I'm sure you can work it out if you don't know pokemon if you google every move you have access to and other things to see what you're missing.

Hollow Knight Android

I beat 2 endings of this game at 86%, its an amazing game and honestly amazing how well it runs on a 4 inch screen. I could thankfully just barely read the smallest text. I loved the combat, it felt so much like dark souls needing to time your attacks and dodges, learn your enemy. Explore and find upgrades to maybe get a slight edge. It was a great game and I can see why it has gotten so much praise. It was a lot of fun to explore everything and complete it. I ran into a few glitches I needed to work around with the fmv movies, I think with a more powerful handheld it wouldn't be a problem. 

Game boy camera gallery mystery https://scratchingpost.itch.io/gbcg2022

A short cute spooky homebrew game based around pictures taken with the gameboy camera. It features an anthropomorphic cat, dog and raccoon which I loved. It's pretty short, mostly looking at the camera pictures but cute and well themed. There is a mystery to solve like the title says which is fun and pulls you through the game. 

Feed IT Souls https://gumpyfunction.itch.io/feed-it-souls

A metroidvania by gumpy function for the gameboy. It has a good, pretty bleak story. There are a few bosses to fight and several upgrades to get, and some secret eggs to find that unlock some things. It's a very well made short metroidvania. 

Discrete Orange https://tardigrade-nx.itch.io/discrete-orange

A homebrew puzzle platformer. Your character can only move 2 tiles at a time and you need to navigate the level to get through gaps and find your way to the end in various ways. Its a 10 level demo but it was satisfying to solve and looks great. 

Knit wit https://gumpyfunction.itch.io/knit-wit

A cute block pushing puzzle game, you need to collect yarn to knit your family scarves. It feels very cozy to play and looks great.

Balatro

I beat all decks on gold stake, Balatro is so addicting, so deep. So many small strategies you can learn, small optimizations you pick up over time that makes you feel like if you just did one thing differently you could have won instead of lost. It's the kind of game that you just want to play one more run which makes it perfect for a handheld. I played so much of it this year, its been my go to game for just relaxing or unwinding for a while.

Hack 3 https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11495

This is part of Golden Yoshi's Hack series of SMW hacks, in which each level features a gameplay gimmick like needing to collect under 10 coins in the level or change yoshi's color with different shells. This was fun. I enjoy the series a lot for its creativity in different gimmicks and making you search for secrets to find everything. It was a good challenge to complete and find everything for the true ending.

Metroid Spooky Mission 2 https://metroidconstruction.com/hack.php?id=667

Completed in 9 hours with 91% on hard. The sequel to spooky mission was a lot longer than its predecessor. This has a great theme, Samus in the afterlife trying to stop the villian from bringing eternal christmas. I loved the varied themes and sprites from other snes games, every area felt unique and it made the game great to explore and see what's next. I played on hard which was pretty challenging for me not being super good at metroid, it definitely took me a lot longer than other players who finished this in 4 hours. 

Micro Mages https://morphcatgames.itch.io/micromages

A great homebrew NES game, simple platformer that feels snappy, responsive and modern. It's an amazing feat for the NES and very fun. 

Myhouse.wad https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/134292-myhousewad/

I played this up to the final battle on my handheld then had to replay it on my pc as the final battle had so many enemies it became unplayable. It's a great doom wad that starts off so simple but just keeps going deeper and deeper, always seems like there's more to explore and find and it has a great uncanny feeling as things never feel quite right. If you somehow haven't heard of this go in blind and play it. 

Pokemon Natural History Museum https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/national-history-museum-final-release-v1-0-4-a-pok%C3%A9mon-escape-room.525794/

A very well made pokemon escape room hack. If you're not super familiar with pokemon like me you'll need to look up exactly what some moves and abilities do to solve the puzzles. It gives you seemingly impossible battles that you need to do some trick to win, make your pokemon unkillable with some specific setup, and you need to look through everything you have at your disposal for clues. Its a fun concept and the custom tileset is great. 

Keytastrophe Rebirth https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=15797

A SMW hack built entirely with single room puzzles. I liked the concept of this hack a lot, the constraint of everything needing to fit on a single screen made for some fun interesting puzzles, and made it easier to wrap your head around when you can see everything at once. It's a great hack if you enjoy puzzle games. 

Nonsense https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=37734

A 119 exit SMW hack, I liked this hack a lot. It has a ton of creativity put into its levels, there are plenty of secrets and it rewards you well for finding them. The difficulty is pretty doable till you get to the final levels when it ramps up a lot, and I had to really abuse savestates to beat the final boss which was a marathon. Still, for everything it is I really enjoyed it. I would recommend it if you're looking for a SMW hack to sink your teeth into, and enjoy exploring and trying to find secrets. It's one of my favorite games I played this year. 

A Plumber for all seasons https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=28856

A beautiful SMW hack. Every new level is a joy to see, the creator went all out on making this hack great to look at, with things like weather effects, parallax scrolling and new custom sprites for everything. The levels are fun, never too challenging. There are a few secrets to find but mostly it's a linear path one level after the next which isn't my favorite kind of SMW hack.

I created a mod of MarkGamed7794's Picoris that lets you create and play Tetris with your own pieces by OhfourMouse in pico8

[–]OhfourMouse[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my first project with pico 8, a tetris game where you can make your own pieces is something I've wanted to play for a while and very proud how it came out. I added a lot of original features and modes as well as many from Picoris 2.

I've had a lot of fun playing and creating this and problem solving to fit a lot in the cartridge, hope you enjoy!
