Pico-8

Ever dreamt of a tiny, pixelated world where game creation is a breeze? That’s PICO-8 for ya! It’s like a magical box of retro goodness, perfect for whipping up quick and quirky games. And guess what? That’s exactly what I needed!

My mission? To unleash a glorious horde of mini-games, all playfully orbiting a certain… ahem… ‘central theme’ (think ‘http://kur.ac/’ and you’ll get the picture!). It all started with a cheeky 404 error page for my URL shortener, and then… well, things escalated!

You can dive into these bite-sized adventures right in your browser, or grab the standalone cartridge and bring the pixelated madness to your favorite game console (like Miyoo Mini Plus which supports PICO-8 games).

Will I actually crank out 100 games? Let’s be real, that’s a wild dream! But hey, who knows? The real goal is to have a blast, stay focused, and pick up some sweet skills along the way – like composing catchy tunes, mastering the art of tiny game development, and actually finishing projects!

Feeling inspired? Wanna join the pixel party? Absolutely! Just check out the Manifesto, whip up your own masterpiece, and send it my way! Got a killer game idea? Drop me an email or leave a comment – let’s make it happen!

Get ready to giggle and game! The pixelated pandemonium awaits at http://100.kur.ac/!”
