I was wondering if it were possible to change the avatar while the game was playing.

Yeah, the avatar in bitsy is just another sprite in terms of rendering. There's a file in the hack repo with helpers that can be used to edit it if you're interested: https://github.com/seleb/bitsy-hacks/blob/master/src/edit%20image%20at%20runtime...

I still don't get it. Can you create a bitsy game that shows off this effect with explanations?

This game is actually using those helpers quite extensively; there's another hack on the repo (corrupt) which is a cleaned-up version of it that's fairly well commented.
