Icebreaker DX (working title)

Coming soon…

Ground-up remake of Icebreaker for PICO-8

Looking back on Icebreaker, I feel unsatisfied; not because the final result was particularly bad, but because it wasn’t exactly the game I set out to make.

I’m remaking Icebreaker to find out what went wrong in the original version, and documenting my progress as I take another stab at forming the game I had originally wanted to build.

Icebreaker

Released July 26th, 2023

Skill-based action brawler for PICO-8

Having gotten used to PICO-8, I wanted to make something thrilling, as I hadn’t seen many action games for the platform. I was craving a PICO-8 game with twitchy combat, high difficulty, and satisfying game-feel with visual polish.

It proved difficult to stay within code token limits, and the shape of the project morphed and shifted constantly throughout development. Despite this, I’m proud of the final build, which now provides the jumping-off point from PICO-8 to my next projects.

Mini Mines

Released May 1st, 2023

Minesweeper for PICO-8

I developed Mini Mines to become more confident in PICO-8 and Lua. The code is something of a mess, but it taught me invaluable lessons about creating user interfaces and enjoyable controls within the restrictions of the console.
