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.

The animations are so good!
Wow! Fun and well-done. I will definitely come back to play this on a slow day! Great job!
This was super fun to play with an incredible variety of minigames! It really kept surprising me.
Awesome use of such limited assets as well. Great job!
Really good example of asset re-use to make lots of different content, great job!
Fun! I liked the variety of games. Bookmarked it to check later if it plays on my phone. It's a nice puzzle game for passing time. More thinking than a clicker or "idle" game. :)
Weeellll that was a hoot!
Impressive amount of variety that kept me hooked longer than I expected!
HAha! This is really fun, very clever use of twisting what the player might expect. congrats!
Really fun game! Could keep playing this for quite a while! The pixel-art works really well and the transitions between games are really nice and smooth. Great job!
That was a lot of fun to play and learning all the different mini games, great job! Made it to 7 games without losing after a few tries.
Dang, probably the best interface i've seen in this comp yet, very professional. The graphics are exactly what they need to be and are really really polished. I chuckled abit, we totally used the same music assets. Good job!
Check mine out too if you can.
