Me & friends went for #PlayJam again and had a blast πŸ™Œ
It's becoming by favorite game jam πŸ‘Ύ 🟨 It's better with a #playdate but not strictly necessary.

Voting for entries ends today!

Bowing out of this #PlayJam! I think I have the start of an arcade-y #Playdate flight game with satisfying controls, but didn't manage to flesh out the gameplay in time.

I'll leave you with this gif that Mastodon will almost definitely horrifically mangle into a blur of jpeg artifacts

I'm live streaming and live committing for a few hours! #gamejam #1bitjam #playjam

Spent too much of the first evening of #PlayJam writing silly dialogue that may not see the light of day, but I do have this nice (I think!) animated gradient effect to show off

(edit: of course mastodon absolutely butchered it πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ)

I'm crazy enough to be considering a twofer entry into both the 4th #PlayJam (3 days) & 2nd #1bitJam (8 days) starting tonight. Would mean a completely focussed weekend and the alignment of stars and themes. Let's see what happens.

Meanwhile I'm at the library ...ruminating.

The results are in! Huge congratulations to the #PlayJam 3 winners!πŸ₯³

1st place: Digscovery by @Toadley
2nd place: Sight Blight by digikerot
3rd: Beat Fish by The_LoFi_Boi, Austin Petilo and @pizzafuel
