PICO-8

PICO-8 is a fantasy console designed for creating and playing small, retro-style games. It's developed by Lexaloffle Games and is known for its simplicity, limited resolution (128x128 pixels), limited color palette (16 colors), and restricted sound capabilities. PICO-8 also has a built-in code editor and export functionality for sharing games online.

The games for PICO-8 are typically created by independent developers and enthusiasts. Due to the constraints of the platform, games often have a charmingly retro aesthetic and simple gameplay mechanics reminiscent of classic arcade and console games from the 1980s and early 1990s. Many developers enjoy the challenge of working within the limitations of PICO-8 to create innovative and engaging experiences.

Some popular PICO-8 games include "Celeste Classic" (a precursor to the critically acclaimed game "Celeste"), "Pico-8 Splore" (a collection of user-created games), "PICO-8 Snake" (a version of the classic Snake game), and "Gopher boy" (a platformer game).
