POYO! it's Kirby 💙💖
My entry for the Kirby's Adventure Redrawn collab!

[ #pixelart | #kirbyredrawn | #retroredrawn ]

Pixel art illustration of a redrawn depiction of the Orange Ocean World 6 Stage 5 level (W6S5A) from the NES game Kirby's Adventure, for the Retro Redraw Kirby collab using the NES colour palette. The level features snowy, frosted platforms in the mid and foreground, a waddle is floating upside down and frozen in an ice block in water below these platforms. Kirby has the "Freeze" ability active and is fighting the snowman enemy, Chilly, in front of an igloo with mountains in the background. The UI at the bottom of the screen is half covered with ice and has the text "Kirby" followed by 6 hearts, the text "Score" followed by the numbers "0657334", a simplified icon of kirby with the numbers "x03" and a larger illustration of Kirby wearing a hat with a pompom as he peaks over the UI, there is a penguin the left and the text "FREEZE" to the right".

including these replies under their tweet as well.

a lot of you would find a way to sympathize with hitler if he died yesterday.

A reply to the first post that says

"Well, you can have a wife and kids and still be a bad person.
I don't like violence, it's a sign that something's not working. But if someone dedicates their life to spread lies aiming to remove my rights and make people hate me, I'd probably be happy if that person died."

Pixel Art Journey replies to them,

"Being happy someone you disagreed with died is evil. Im not happy with people getting fired over it, but I don't feel bad for them.
HUGE difference. Its absolutely disgusting behaviour and probably better for the safety of everyone at the workplace"

Another reply to the first post from a different user that says,

"Do I think he should have been murdered?
Absolutely not. But do I understand why people are happy he's gone? Yes, yes I do.
And I do not think those people are 'evil.'"

Pixel Art Journey replies to them,

"Its evil because being happy and celebrating means contributing to and encouraging more stuff like this to happen. Its disgusting and extreme"

The main comment thread on the initial post that starts with Pixel Art Journey replying to Jubilee, the artist they were vaguely complaining about in their first post.

Pixel Art Journey says,

"Alright, Jubilee you are an insanely skilled artist and love the artworks. Like I said in my post I think its fully understandable to not feel bad or give a fuck about what happened to Charlie, since I agree he stood for atrocious things. Difference is celebrating it and encouraging more political violence. I personally Think it damages the, arguably great, cause more than helps it, as an average person isn't looking at violence as the solution to silencing those opposing trans rights and everyting else vile he stood for."

Jubilee replies,

"I'll never not encourage the deaths of fascist suppressors. maybe you're really that ignorant to us politics but he said school shootings are ok and an unfortunate event. he also said he'd make his rape victim 10yo daughter to deliver at fullterm"

Pixel Art Journey replies again (and continues to do so outside the screenshot),

"Those are extreme and evil things to say indeed, not denying that. But why not fight the opression with speech, debate? I think"

The rest of the comments are cut off but they go on to express how they view those celebrating a nazi's death as evil and that everything can be solved with debate.

Wooden Board that says "Games for a cause" (name of the jam) with a Capybara with an orange on its head. Text that says "Presented by Capybloom Interactive" (that's me)

Trying to implement basic AI in my game!

Enemies try to occupate one of the two "battle spots" on the sides of the player. If both are occupied already, the enemy circles around.

Also if they want to go to the other side, they try to go around the player.
