Pixel Session Vol.1

Does it have the zip p8 multi cart?

So in Descent, if you hold Z and X to start the game… and continue holding them… you get a high score by mistake. Edit: But only if you press them at the same time.

While I lost my temper once or twice at Big Brother, it was Charging Panic that really soured me on the entire experience.

the first 3 games are a lot of fun! because of charging panic I haven't been able to see the last one but it looks fun!

It was pretty good, a little tough though

Descent: Gameplay: 8.5/10 Gfx: 9/10

Lightner: Gameplay: 8.5/10 Gfx: 9.5/10

Big Brother: Gameplay: 8/10 Gfx: 8/10 (hard to see at times but still beautifull)

Charging Panic: Gameplay: 4.5/10 Gfx: 7.5

Chroma Cannon: Gameplay: 8.5/10 Gfx: 10/10 (Great :D)

Overall: 9/10 While the gameplay wasnt revolutionary I dont think its about that. If you want simple, adictive minigames with gorgeous art then this is perfect for you. It knows how to be simple, fun, and jump from one idea to another when its getting stale. My only big problem was with Charging Panic, but thats just personal. Oh, and the final reward was cool.

I played this from the BLM bundle and really enjoyed it! Wonderful idea! Great art style and gameplay! 

There were issues with the games on certain browsers, so I updated them and made them standalone executables! (that wasn't an option back when I released the game, but it is now)

It may also improve performances, which is cool. In the games you can pause and access settings by pressing ENTER.

Thank you for checking out my games everyone, I hope you enjoy!

A nice project, a collection of funny, psychedelic arcade minigames quite challenging but not too hard, usually. Also, a great idea the system to unlock the minigames, it gives you the right stimulus to fight the battles in the games!

Can you please make the source available? I can't play them with the .html for some reason.

This was awesome! Hoping for part two soon :D

All I'm gonna say is that I LOVED this experience, and volume2 when?

Game 4 is too hard to get a b rank in please nerf

I broke descent, 10/10

now i'm forced to unlock all games!! :D  well played...  loving this minigame ideas. 

Nice, but isnt there any source code in the package ?

Heh, I have to say, the method you used for unlocking games is very clever! :) As for the five games themselves, they were pretty easy to pick up and hard to put down. >w< I really enjoyed the journey through all of them (even when I had a bit of trouble trying to get a B rank in Big Brother and Charging Panic, I just cracked under pressure a lot, haha), the graphics and music were beautiful , and it was all done in Pico-8?

Simply amazing. I can't wait for volume 2 (if there's one on the way)! OUO

My Scores:

Descent: 523

Lightener: 1127

Big Brother: 120

Charging Panic: 84

Chroma Cannon: 13338

This kind of experimentation, coupled with genuine gameplay not only encourages me to invest time in Pico8, it pushes boundaries and concepts not unlike various periods and artists in Jazz. Fun and important.

I'm up to the fourth game and am really enjoying this so far! Descent was simple enough; definitely the most traditional of the games in this Session, but still unique enough to have a cool twist. It's super fun to go back to and play after the others, which are much weirder.

Lightner is the slowest and so far most unique of the bunch. It almost feels like a strategy game! This one is perfectly-paced for me; I like a game that wants me to react fast, but not super-crazy-split-second fast. Make me think a little too! A lot of the challenge in Lightner comes from wanting to go through it faster than you need to; in fact, that's indicative of one thing I really like about all the games in this collection, which is that the fail state isn't just a matter of having time run out or hitting a wall and suddenly failing, it's usually an amalgamation of stuff happening on the screen that leads to you get overwhelmed and losing. Lightner does end up being waaay easier than all the others though; I got an A rank in like three tries!

Big Brother has the coolest presentation so far. It's more "interesting" to play than it is fun to play. Mechanically, it's not super unique (Descent is better!); the interesting-ness comes from figuring out how to play it while being absorbed in its opressing atmosphere. My complaint with this one is that Level 2 seems to be harder than the later levels (maybe it's just me!), but either way, definitely a cool thing. Learning how to see the lasers of death was a cool experience. ("Cool!" "Interesting!" Cool and interesting! Everything is cool and interesting!)

Charging Panis is definitely the one I've found most difficult. I feel like I haven't "solved" it yet; when the buttons are too close to the edge of the screen, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot I can do to prevent the balls of death from killing my clones. I think the secret is ensuring that there's always at least one clone on each group of buttons and then focusing on pressing one at a time, but I can't quite get the rhythm down between defending existing clones and spawning new ones for unpressed buttons.

Definitely gonna play more of this! Awesome game, thanks for making it!!
