This is a really cool game, as you have to decide on which parts to use while making sure that you don't have a weakness. The gameplay's great and the graphics mesh together well.

Did you work in a team?
Just me!
Was the resolution a challenge?
Sub-pixel resolution was the biggest challenge. I ended up having to write a lot of logic to ensure non-smooth scrolling and movement. Working with 8x8 sprites was also quite restrictive.
What did you learn?
I've gained a whole new appreciation for sub-pixel resolution, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that normally makes our lives easier. Also, the core mechanic of the game (where the player assembles a monster that can have a wide variety of shapes, sizes, movement speed and attack points) was more difficult to implement than I'd have thought, but I learned a lot about Godot's inner workings.
