Are you then saying that the tool for painting in ascii that the jam host post should not be used? https://itch.io/queue/c/1169608/software-pixelascii?game_id=270445Since it does the very same thing, i.e rendering in layers?
This game does the same https://alex5ander.itch.io/ascii-invaders
I'm sure more submissions have done it too; not sure why ours should expect a lower rating..
