@dukope Ah yeah, good call. Switched constraint #3 to be optional if a separate or coloured background is desired. I was thinking to keep this version of the jam "simpler" in a sense to see if it's inspirational for others if creating one for the first time. An evolution would be to think about how to create a game like LCD Please within similar constraints. Would you have any interest in being involved at any level... posting, judging, sharing, etc.?

@dukope I'm actually hosting an LCD-handheld-style Game Jam in a month, and if interested would love to get your input or support in being connected with it! https://itch.io/jam/watch-this-game

@dukope I think what Yokoi created, and what you both created and expounded on in your de-make and article is really valuable in terms of design thinking. Yokoi's "Lateral Thinking with Seasoned Technology" (枯れた技術の水平思考) is something that any young designer should consider these days, with technology advancing faster than the creativity to harness it.
