Pico-8?

Is the Pico-8 valid for this jam?

The Pico-8 is 128x128. This means that a game can be done at 128x120 on it, and then upscaled to 256x240. Would that be valid? The rules mention scaling up, but I'm not sure if it refers to that.

What about the colors? I'm not sure if all the Pico-8 colors are included in (or similar enough to colors in) the valid NES Palette. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJNHbqBWgAATfmj.png

I think I solved my own question. I drew Mario with the Pico-8 color palette, trying to match the colors:


The colors are clearly off, sadly.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I forgot to respond when I first saw it.

Your method of upscaling is valid. As for the colors, try your best to get them as close as possible, but it's alright if you can't exactly match them.
