Hole drops you at the bottom of a dark pit with only one way out: up.
It’s a punishing platformer where you charge jumps with [x] and aim with the arrow keys, and falling means losing progress since there are no checkpoints or safe-zones. The game is short, so even if you tumble back down, it’s not too disheartening. Music comes from Gruber_Music, and the game is inspired by Jump King, with no genAI used in its making.

SpaceRogu is a spaceship roguelike space-shooter built in PICO-8, the first game from tegstudio, who learned the ropes from Lazy Devs’ YouTube tutorials.
You earn EXP and pick from over 15 upgrades—like spread shot, spinning orbs, rockets, and nova—to survive 34 stages packed with enemies, meteors, and explosions. It’s a solid debut that shows the genre’s core loop done right, and the upgrade variety keeps each run feeling fresh.

QuarterDonkey’s PICO-8 platformer The Egg Came First is a beginner-friendly romp where you play as an egg fighting chickens, with a variable jump, ground pound, and enemies that need multiple hits to defeat.
The developer spent about two months on it, borrowing mechanics from Shovel Knight, New Super Mario Bros., and Celeste, and warns that the platforming is unforgiving but includes a fun challenge at level 4.

You’re Laurie, babysitter to four ghost children who want to play hide and seek, and the house is about to turn on you.
Search the furniture, find a child, and race them to the rug beater before they hide again. Four rounds, thirty-five minutes, and halfway through the south wing unlocks, doubling the house as the lights fail. By the last round you’re crossing the whole place by torchlight, with toys thrown underfoot and walls that speak. This is RCat’s first PICO-8 game, and they’re keen for feedback on the time limit.
