Eventual Baristancy by radicalslice is an action arcade game made for PICO-8. This game was made for Global Game Jam 2023, where the theme was “roots”.

Your goal in this game is to enter the coffee shop as quickly as possible. But, you will be unable to enter the coffee shop until you have zero health. Let the baddies hit you until you lose all your health. Each time you kill a baddie, the flow of time will accelerate slightly. Occasionally, your father will appear from the window of the coffee shop and drop a coffee power up. The power up will greatly reduce the speed of the baddies, making them easier to bump into. However, it will also make your auto attack trigger randomly, so it is risky to use the power up. Use the arrow keys to move. Your character will attack automatically.

Nonacorn by sbeets is an nonagram game with a random level generator. It was developed over 48 hours for the Global Game Jam 2023.

In this game, endless random puzzles will be generated. The acorn you pick will determine the randomness. To complete a puzzle, the number of tiles in a column or row must match the numbers shown outside the grid in the corresponding column or row. If there are multiple numbers in the same position, e.g “1 2 3”, this means that there are 3 sets of numbers of 1 length, 2 length, and 3 length. So, “1 2 3” would be “0 X 0 0 X 0 0 0” and “8” would be “0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0”.
