Bitter Space

Bitter Space

A game made for the Bitter Jam 2020 jam, in 2 days. The art was provided as part of the jam (the only art allowed in the game, in fact). I went with a shoot-em since the sprite sheet had some sprites that looked alien-y, plus the non-overlap and grid based limitation according to the rules of the jam made it easier to go with a shoot-em up approach. All the movements are in 8x8 grid too.

Please note the game resolution is 256x192 (nod to the ZX Spectrum ), so the game is best played at full screen, where it will be scaled up correctly - unless you prefer playing it in a tiny pocket of space on your HD screen!

Had fun working on this as this is my only second game for a game-jam. I'm still learning the art of working within limitations and time constraints so the game is quite simplistic admittedly. Nevertheless, hopefully you'll have some fun playing it!

All code and sound fx by me.
