Hi I'm Ben, I made Cab Ride - https://powersaurus.itch.io/cab-ride - and other games - https://powersaurus.itch.io/ - and I recently released Caped Feline Arena, a retro fps for #pico8.

Football Manager Pico-80's is now playable. #pico8

I've made a football management game inspired by the classic 8-bit games of the early 1980s for Pico-8, so you can play it in your browser on your PC and phone.

Football Manager Pico-80s

NarcolepticFrog and I are collaborating on a puzzle platformer in pico8.

He does the more technical side, while I focus on art and help out with level design.

A big issue with Football Manager 80's was that it was far too easy. While investigating the match code, I discovered I'd set up the computer teams with only 9 players, and the players' squad members all had 10% extra skill.

Fixing this has made the game more challenging. #pico8

A little game I'm working on. i'm new to this platform, so using the opportunity to figure out how it all works.

Wyrdway -- Retro road-trip roguelite with bite-sized POI raids.
First public pre-alpha is live (play in browser, win/mac/linux).

I need your feedback: which DRIVE preset did you pick, and does the return chase feel fair / too harsh / too easy? Handbrake on X -- how feel?

Our next game is Verminsteel!

You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun

PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/Verminsteel/ #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev (boosts super appreciated)

Verminsteel on Steam

You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun. Joined by a hoe-wielding badger, a mouse with a frying pan, and all the Molotovs you can chuck: You’ll resist occupation, defend the helpless, and push the Verminsteel back under the rock they crawled from.

@shanecelis ah that's so cool! pico-8 is such a good base for this sort of thing - "make your own story book" is a really good idea too
Lot's of people asked for orthographic projection for the sprite sheets , so here we go!
