Behind the scenes

I now work with people who design and code UIs, so I thought this would be a fun project to help me understand them better. Also, I spent a lot of time on gameboy tetris as a kid, and kind of always wanted to do something similar myself.

First pico-8 cart and loving the software as well as the community -- it keeps amazing me that pico-8 exists :)!

I want to take this game, @nue, and put it in my pocket. :)

The easy grace and beauty of this game, especially the cat, remind me of an earlier time when the B&W Gameboy just came out and there were only a handful of games for it.

This is indeed not only relaxing but nostalgic.

Well done ! Gold star work.
