Bubbles Screensaver (PICO-8)

Hey Everyone! I’m making things in PICO-8! If you’re unfamiliar with PICO-8, it’s a fantasy console for making small games and other programs. Here’s their website.

As a kid, I remember being fascinated by the Windows 7 bubbles screensaver and I thought the bubbles would work well in PICO-8. So here it is!

Controls:

  • Z to toggle random sizes
  • X to toggle random colors
  • Up and down to add and delete bubbles
  • Left and right to decrease and increase size

Options for bubble speed are in the pause menu.
