CURSORS.P8

a little thing i wrote a long time ago, intended for a tweetcart but never quite small enough. through the power of postcart having a slightly higher character limit, i can post it here now!

and yes, you get your own cursor :)

(294 characters, code in thread or on the BBS)

Finished up my entry for this year's #pico1K Jam!

Pivop1K is a demake of an older game of mine squished all the way down to a single kilobyte of compressed source code!

Wow! That's so small for all this head-swinging action!
