apparently there's a pico-8 game jam going on where the goal is to make a game under 1kb. that's 1024 bytes! sounds like a fun excuse to make my first pico-8 game :D
though, turns out it's over in less than 24hrs...
well, i guess im speedrunning it then! #pico1k #pico8 #gamedev

Finished up my entry for this year's #pico1K Jam!
Pivop1K is a demake of an older game of mine squished all the way down to a single kilobyte of compressed source code!
Wow! That's so small for all this head-swinging action!

Pico1K Entry submitted! Came in at 1020 compressed bytes in the end, and was a ton of fun to make. Check it out on itch at sizescape.itch.io/qball
My high score is 348, let me know if you manage to beat it! :D
Thanks @liquidream.bsky.social for hosting this jam!

I have also made a 1k racing game. Honestly it's kind of wild what you can fit into 1kB of Lua, a decidedly not-small language, even if we are compressing it by nearly 50%. There's some really cool stuff in the #Pico1k jam.

"Caverns of the Souleater"
Father told you these caverns hold a great treasure. But all you've found are endless tunnels and venomous snakes. As your torch burns low, you wonder if the gold was ever real. And why he didn't share this with your brother?!

PICK-1K
I made a wordlike roguesearch. You have to pick 1 "K" in a letter grid, and after each success you pick a new detriment -- AND the letters of the detriment you selected get added to the grid, making it harder to find the next K. Made in exactly 1024 bytes for #pico1k jam!

Here's my game Locate.Identify.Eliminate. I made for PICO-1K Jam 2025.

Hitting up against the limits again for #pico1k. Added in a bunch the features that I wanted, and the game's starting to really come together. You can finally actually lose a run, and playing the game is cutting into my dev time, always a good sign. :D

I made a tiny space arcade game for the #Pico1k jam, so it's 864 bytes of compressed Lua code (and no assets).
It's a "run through the rings to gain time and shoot targets for points" game. Not loads to it but pretty pleased with it given the constraints.

Making good progress on #pico1k!
Moved all of the sprite assets into code, smoothed the animations, and shrank a bunch of the logic code down, made it down under 1009 bytes compressed.
Now time to enter my favorite loop--each byte I remove gives me more bytes to add new stuff in. :D

Working on a possible entry for the #Pico1k Jam! We'll see if I have any tokens left once I get the movement feeling good.

For #pico1k this year, started on a prototype of a weird idea I had: what would happen if you crossed qbert + jezzball? The resulting game is decently fun, and the very rough prototype came in at 1762 bytes, should be able to make it fit in 1k! #pico8 #arcade
