Intro to Pico-8? (europe.pub)

I'm looking to get into playing some Pico-8 but i don't really know how to start.

How can I add this to my Retroid Pocket 5, which is an Android Device, with ES-DE frontend.

Where do I get games?

I know basically nothing about it. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

On Lexaloffle, under the web player of each game, there's a pink cartridge icon. The image that opens is the cartridge - download it and load onto your favorite emulator.

Itchio also has a bunch of those games, and iirc they have a tag for PICO-8 games as well.

Also also, iirc the cartridges can be converted to Android's native format. And I'd need to confirm, but maybe HTML too, which if possible, would probably let for the game to be run on JoiPlay.
