Epic. That's super cool. That dog thing is very cute though, I felt bad.

js13k is super cool. Here is my favorite game from there: https://js13kgames.com/2022/games/infernal-throne

There was also some kind of java4k thing back in the day. Notch did a bunch of those:

I read the whole writeup assuming it was LLM assisted, then when I got to the bottom I realized it's from 2021 and was blown away.

I definitely recommend checking out all top games from this competition over the years. Quite a few gems.

Great job!

This is really remarkable, and frankly more playable than a number of niche ports like this that I've tried - great work!

Imagine, if someone would start making operating system and its applications that are just kilobytes in size. RAM price crysis would resolve in a day.

Very epic stuff

ck2

the Wolfenstein3D-like game in only a few hundred bytes WITH SOUND might be even more impressive even though it's like exploits all the way down

oddly can't find a link to it at the moment
