In gem_basket, you steer a basket with the arrow keys to collect gems while a fire chases you, speeding up with every dodge.
This PICO-8 arcade game by Manic_Monarch starts simple but gets tense fast. Hitting 25 and 100 points spawns higher-value gems, and reaching 25, 100, 200, and 300 points unlocks four trophies. It’s built on @SpaceCat88’s beginner-friendly PICO-8 tutorial, then tweaked into its own thing. If you’re new to the format, it’s a good example of how a short tutorial can grow into a proper little game.
