Working on a cozy game for fun.
It is hard to strike a balance between creating deep, versatile systems and systems that are shallow enough so that you can actually fill them with content.
Side note: Color tables are the best thing ever. Seasons are just one palette shift away!

My fellow prisoners were moths. They danced frantically beneath the light, blinded by that dangerous urge to disregard the risks. Stupid bastards.

Genuary Day 26: Recursive Grids. Split the canvas into a grid of some kind and recurse on each cell again and again.

Dark pink background with light pink squares. A large square with a radius of 1 is in the middle of the image, with subsequent squares added with a radius half the size in every corner. The process continues recursively and a different pattern of squares emerges.

Don't underestimate the default #Pico8 palette.

Bubble symphony, the third bubble bobble game shrunk

📺 from 320x240 pixels to 128x128

🎨 From 256 colours to 15 ( I had no use for pure black)
Bub in a stage with ghosts, having taken the cross power up that floods the level with water and kills everything Bub with the tanuki boss which is actually the tanuki from Kiki Kaikai, another taito game. In this stage, you spawn rainbows instead of bubbles and do damage from above The iconic first stage of bubble symphony More of the tanuki boss, this time he is disguised as a stone statue that crushes you

Testing out "ghost ships" as a type of power-up. Massive increase in fire-power but pretty fragile!

Next, some non-grid enemies. Maybe bouncing segments like Matrix and also some #centipede inspired enemies.
