It's the seventh biannual TweetTweetJam! Make a game in 560 characters of code.
Why 560? Because you don't always need a ton of code to make something fun. Because sometimes it's nice to scale back. But mostly because it's the length of two tweets. PICO-8 is our recommended tool, but TIC-80 and other text-based engines will work as well!
Rules:
- Your final game code must be 560 characters or less. This includes spaces and brackets, but doesn't include the code composing your framework or engine.
- No spritesheets or external art libraries allowed! All of your game art must fit into your code. Symbols such as 웃 and ★ are acceptable, as long as they work in your editor and can be included in a tweet!
