Low Rez Jam 2014 (ends on May 31st)

Thanks for noticing, updated the title.

Finally have things working the way I want them to. I had to take out the physics and just program in pixel based motion. Now I can have a larger resolution without image API or anything. I'm calling it "Sticky Blocks" for now.

I'm having some fun with it.

Looks great!
Reminds me the 80s, playing this game types on this fixed LCD-handhelds.

ha yeah, it's very Game'N'Watch. There's not really enough space to code things like bullet movement so everything is drawn by hand, just animation cycles.

Looks like a really fun game thechaosengine. Can't wait to play it.

looks really pretty thechaosengine!

filling the thread with some more big annoying animated gifs:

I'm really really excited for my game. It's turning out fantastic I think. It's a roguelikelike and I've been building it in a way where everything I add grows the game exponentially and so there's tons of variety. There's like over 35 enemy variations, over 20 powerup variations, it's nuts and so much fun to make. Haven't been this excited over my own work for a while.

Looks sweeet! Roguelikelikes are the best. Maybe I'll top it up someday with a roguelikelikelike.
And good to hear you're having fun again.

roguelikelikelike

I believe you mean Procedural Death Labyrinth

I really hope that term would catch on a bit more.

Thanks! I'm so glad to be having fun again, it's great. Make your roguelikelikelike and I'll make a roguelikelikelikelike.

My game has lots of death, in a labryinth, with procedural...ness. I prefer roguelikelike though, because it's so stupid.

NobodyX that looks (and sounds) really cool!

Progress for me (more annoying gifs yaaay):

I'm really impressed by the games given the limitations.

@Folmer - That reminds me a lot of your Superninja game, which many of us enjoyed.

Lots of really great stuff coming out of this jam, twitter is overflowing with amazing screenshots right now

And thanks Jon!

Still need to tweak a ton of variables for balance- it feels too sticky right now- but I've got most of the base mechanics working nicely. Here's a WIP level

Well, what can I say? I LOVE IT.
