All of my nights I'm chasing the rats (Chasing the rats!)
All of my days I'm taking naps (That's where it's at!)
And in my dreams I'm the king of cats (He's the king of cats!)
I will hunt you down! (There will be nowhere to hide)

Gotta love the trope of "jump - jump dash - jump OR dash" in the first levels.

I wanted to make valentine cards this year, but I couldn't make them in time. So I decided to make a very crude representation of what I planned.

Happy Valentines Day featuring Sputnitsa and Crescent Moon!

Looks better! Much easier on the eye too :)
Not sure about flickering tho, hope it fixes by itself.

The background absolutely DESTROYED the bitrate lol.
Also, when I played the demo on retroid flip 2 which has an OLED screen the same background kept flickering and in general it wasn't pleasant for the eyes. I suggest to make the grid bigger (like 64x64) and make it move slower, if move at all.

When I tried to do so myself I realized:
1. I need to adapt all of menus for controller, so I need to basically rework them.
2. My game engine simply doesn't support full 360 analog movement without fully recreating it yourself. So I stopped at 8 direction movement disguised under the stick.

Oh, it was a corpse corpse. I thought it was already a skeleton.

I would be upset too if I was naked and the skeleton isn't :(

Looks very noisy from the distance. I think making the dithering less extreme would help.

Top 2 reasons why you should add BOTH controller and a touchscreen support to your web/html5 games.
1. They will run on android retro handhelds.
2. This will me make happy.

(It's hard to take pictures of OLED screens)

Sad that you even need to remind that to people. Like it's some sort of revelation which is need to be stayed out loud and it's not implied by itself.

I need to adapt the menus before I'll consider controller support finished. Which is trickier than it sounds, since all buttons were made with mouse in mind. I don't want to slap a slowly moving cursor as a solution. I mean, it's a solution, but a very lazy one and traversing menus with it sucks.

I do post art almost daily, but I still feel like I'm lazy if it's not related to my game. "I could've spent this time on Sputnik... I could've spent this time on Sputnik..." - shut up! Leave me alone, my conscience! I hate an impostor syndrome or whatever is this called.

I actually do keep my 2DS photos. I think this is the most interesting out of them all. Me after performing on stage as Rust.

Gabby wishes she partied forever.

Super simple animation. 4 frames and around 15 minutes of work.
