I’ve been working on this for some time after learning about PICO-8 and its constraints to fit into the p8 cartridge limits and was looking for a challenge.

So I made Picosky, a Bluesky client for the PICO-8 console to see what would be possible combining GPIO with sockets. Initially I just aimed to like a post on my feed, and then it grew from there.

Which also inspired a sibling game, https://npicomx.vinnymac.dev based on my experience contributing to the npmx.dev project in early 2026.

Both games require more play testing for bugs, so share feedback and let me know what you would have done differently.

Thanks
