Dance Bro by OldAtAtari is a simple platformer game made for the Atari Lynx 2022 Jam.

In this game, you dance your way to internet stardom. You can grab some love and dodge the haters. Also, you can catch some hearts and take that fire for big points, but dodge everything else. If you get 10 points of social shaming, your game is over. Rack up as many likes as you can before that happens. The game will auto-restart so you can try to beat your previous score. If you catch a heart or a flame with your hands or feet (spin or split), you get extra points. It gets more difficult once you’ve gained 10 likes. Make it to 20 likes, and the difficulty will ramp up again. 30 likes? Then get ready for a challenge.​

This game tells the story of a Krow, a bird who dreamed of reaching the stars. You will help him to gather moonbeams to gain enough power to fly stronger, faster and higher. So he can finally fly to the Moon. The full game will be a darker take, but for now it’s more of a technical demo with no shooting. You need to gather 30 moonbeams to pass the first (and only) level. You have 4 lives to achieve this objective. Every time you collect a moonbeam, you fly faster, but beware of the golden skulls!​

Angry Motes by Atari Gamer is a game for the Atari Lynx.

In this game, you are armed with the latest wireless and motion tracking technology. You control your paddle by moving around with your mote. Battle it out against the computer to score goal after goal. Don’t wait too long though, or your turn will pass. Your main goal is to score 99 points against the computer without destroying your TV completely. You have to try and get the ball past the computer’s paddle. Here, timing is important. You can launch the ball or by holding down the launch button. The greater the force, the greater is the chance of having the mote fly out of your hands. If the mote hits the TV, it will damage it, but that’s only visual, you can continue playing the game.​

Legend of Kuna by Heracleum is a survival adventure role playing game for PICO-8.

In this game, you and your friends are stranded on an island. You will explore the land and talk to a stone-headed statue to begin your adventure. You better ensure that you’re the leader of the pack. The others are not too bright at leadership; they’re good at only stealing your precious crops. You can’t do much except gather fruit at the start, more items and actions will be unlocked as you progress in the game. So you can just explore the islands. The writing “Here be Dragons” at the edge of the map means you can’t walk farther at that moment. There are some elements and secrets that you need to understand while playing the game. They are:

Papa: It is Mother Earth and make your plants grow by multiplying crystals. While holding her power, it is shown on the green bar at top-right.

Cloud: It’s goddess Hina’s servant cloud. Its power is shown at top-right as a pink bar just below Papa’s. It will perform way better at multiplying Krystals, but of course, you need to unlock the ‘call cloud’ action. Before calling, ensure its power is enough.

Temple Bonuses: The quests to unlock the Mana Krystals explain the basics but for clarity, when they say “Carry -50% weight” it’s just that item you placed on that square in the center.

Patch with tall plants: You can find extra seeds while searching around. They will not produce fruit though.

Field of Wonders: It is a mystery that will help you to solve those fields with limited resources on the islands.​
