You just ran out of lives on your favorite retro game. The screen goes black and the words "GAME OVER" appear all over. Everything seems normal at first, and then the glitches start.

This file demonstrates some randomized glitch effects I coded in Pico-8, including:

  • The screen turning black occasionally
  • Black and white bars appearing across the screen at random angles and thicknesses
  • All assets on the screen being filled with random noise
  • Random palette swaps
  • Horizontal displacements of various thicknesses and locations
  • Bad vertical sync
  • Random chunks of the screen being drawn on the wrong part of the screen
  • Scan lines filling the whole screen
  • The score turning nil

All of the visuals are displayed using code, not sprites, and all of the code fits into 1K compressed bytes for the Pico-1K Jam 2022.
