Welcome to _Update() Jam! Three new games in three different genres by three different authors, all created from the exact same tiny sprite sheet.

  • In A Jackpot of Skulls by Brainfruit, your eternal fate rests in the capable hands of a cosmic slot machine. But if you spin the wheels right, it might let you make a few modifications...
  • In Bird Watcher by Rémy Devaux, a curious cat gets the jump on exactly 84 birds. A puzzle-vania adventure that rewards experimentation and observation.
  • In Frogwell by Adam Atomic, a frog falls down a very deep hole.

Play using a gamepad or the X, C, and arrow keys.

If you want to make your own _update() game, the base PICO-8 cart (which includes the instructions, code, and sprites!) is available to download below, or you can get it off the Lexaloffle BBS.

I'm so incredibly lost on how to use half the items in the cat game, yet I can't stop playing.

These were all so rad, congrats to everyone participating in the jam!
