This is SO damn good. 😮
Love how you brought your compression tricks to this TTJ entry - it's spot on! 👏

This is so incredible! Very nice work getting these graphics in a tweetcart.

Thanks.

I made sure to go with a simple game so I had room for the rendering function and data strings. As it is, those take up about half the space o_O.

Wow this makes me feel worse about my submission without proper graphics. Great job though!

Thanks, please don't feel bad on my account, though. Hardly any tweetcart games have much in the way of graphics. I've just been experimenting with compression techniques and came up with a system for storing graphics very efficiently. I like that you actually did give your little bird character a face, even that is something you don't see much in tweetcarts.
