I became quite enamored with the knight's-move impartial game I implemented for my little #tweettweetjam game "Jelpi-Knights", and I've been working on building it out into a more proper game under the new title "Nimble Knights".

I'll likely post a WIP cart once I'm reasonably satisfied with the playability of the expanded version, but in the meantime, I'm quite happy with the design I cooked up for the title screen.

(the dither patterns on the squares are also going to be present on the main game's board, and are my attempt at making the information conveyed by the colors of the squares not be *entirely* color-dependent.)

edit: decided at last minute to tweak typography a little

I made a little little line-art infinite faller for TweetTweetJam 11. Try not to hit the walls!

TweetTweetJam 11 is complete!

20 amazing entries using only 500 characters of code. Every year I’m amazed at what people can squeeze into a tiny game. Check out the entries!

I wrote a tiny #pico8 game called Jelpi-Knights for the #tweettweetjam , where the goal is to write a game with at most 500 characters of code and no external assets (aside from whatever your engine provides out-of-the-box). The result is here: https://itch.io/jam/tweettweetjam-11/rate/4623008

I'll discuss the game itself in-thread, but here is the incredibly cursed code I ended up producing:
