One of the best ways to improve your creativity is—paradoxically—to design with constraints.

Perhaps this is why the #pico8 community never failed to amaze me with their tiny creations.

So, here's a list of PICO-8 DEMAKES, starting with possibly the best one ever made...

"A Short Hike" is without any doubt the best indie title of the year. 🏔️🐦

@adamgryu has truly crafted something that can soothe your soul for a good few hours.

"Kind Words" is a game like no other. 💌🤗

You can write about your own issues, and read anonymous replies from other players.
