Are you looking for PICO-8 Games?

Do you already know PICO-8? No?

Developed by Lexaloffe, PICO-8 is technically a small virtual machine that runs on your actual machine much like a console emulator. It is an actual independent console and we love it also for this, one that could be an actual hardware as well.


What kind of Games?

Play online Find Gold! by Isogash
There are multiple reasons to start off with PICO-8. The PICO-8 console allows us to restrict the scope. It has a limited memory (32K cartridge size) and just 128×128 pixels per frame! A good thing it's that you can export it in Html5, so the players can play it online. Easy and fast!


Where're the Games?

PICO-8 has a very nice community on its website.
We finally add PICO-8 to the engines-list on indiexpo, so you can find free games made with it HERE.
Usually the devs add also the indiepad to their game, jsut setting the keys when the upload their game.



Where I can download PICO-8?

What is the indiepad ?

Hi guys!
Thanks to indiexpo community, now is out a new way to play the indiegames on indiexpo.
It's a "new gamepad".
If you have an android smartphone, go here and download the app (it’s free and always will be).



In this way your smartphones will be the gamepads and your browser will be your own console.

Are you a developer?
You're probably wondering "How to add it at a games of mine?"
It's very very easy. It works only for the games in html5 or webgl (so, made with Game Maker, Construct 2 or 3m Unity 3D and other).
Upload the zip of your game (like each html5 game) and click on "Enable indiepad support".
It's all. Easy and fast.

No script, no code!
