Clever idea! I really liked the different challenges. Well done.

Did you work in a team?
Just me! I had lots of fun trying to come up with different game modes I could implement, although I ended up not having as much time as I anticipated to finish the game.
It's also fun to try to make readable assets at this low resolution, and pixel art feels more approachable when the end result is so small.
Was the resolution a challenge?
The game I chose was a fairly natural fit at this low resolution, although at the lower difficulties the movement can look somewhat chunky as it switches between pixels.
I tried to limit myself more by sticking to a limited color palette, so it was interesting to try to work around that when I wanted to make cards fade out. I ended up using dithering to somewhat approximate a fade without making the card transparency. I think it worked somewhat well.
What did you learn?
I got some more experience working with the javascript/typescript game engine Phaser, and as a result got more assets that I can use between games.
