My 6th annual #TweetTweetJam entry is: Tweet Tweet Sky 🚀
An attempt to demake Low Mem Sky in just 560 chars/bytes, using NO art assets!
(Low Mem Sky was, itself, a PICO-8 "demake" attempt of No Man's Sky within a single PICO-8 cart!)
Controls
⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️ = Fly / Walk
❎ = Land / Take off (when close to planet/station)
Features
🌌 An explorable Galaxy - 7,153 units across
🌖 173 Planets
-Each planet with terrain, lakes & dwellings
🛰 173 Space Stations
-(Tricky to dock - as always!)
🍎 Newtonian Physics
✨ Parallax Starfield
🔥 "Realistic" Thruster
🎞 60 FPS
*(kinda, or as close an approximation of as I could do in 560 bytes - so alas, was not able to fit in: resources, aliens, etc.) 😅
BONUS "Galaxy Map" Companion Entry!
In addition to the original entry code below, I created a BONUS 2nd #TweetTweetJam entry, which compliments this one
...an Interactive Galactic Map! 🗺
Just like the good ol' days, when space exploration games like Frontier: Elite 2 came with a giant galaxy map poster (only this time, interactive!)
(This might be the first time multiple TweetTweetJam entries were created to compliment each other?)
MAP FEATURES
- Generated names for all Planets and Space stations
