A little solo game jam to build a hyper stripped down version of a bigger idea. I gave myself 10 days with two goals/ideas in mind: the player had to be exactly one pixel, and the theme was "Forget."

Mainly looking to get feedback as this is my first ever attempt at a game of any scale. There's not too much of a real loop yet but looking to see what others think.

A couple of little tips:

  • Everything only moves when you move so take your time.
  • Hold Left Shift before pressing a direction to dash in said direction, it's just easier that way. You don't take damage when you dash through an enemy. You also can't dash within 3 tiles of a wall, I need to figure that out still.
  • Level 13... when you hear them, you'll know.
  • Find Key. Open Door. Don't. Forget.

A couple of fun facts:

  • The map is genuinely 64x64 pixels, so figuring out movement and collisions was fun. Right now player-wall collisions are handled by fixed raycasts, so that's where the dash limitation comes from. Movement is handled directly through position, no physics here.
  • I did all the audio by mixing a ton of samples together. While I didn't record anything myself, almost nothing is a vanilla sample except for UI bleeps and boops.
  • I made the title font myself, if anyone wants it, I'll upload it here on itch.
  • This is in fact my first attempt at a "real" game. I downloaded Godot almost exactly 2 months ago as I had only ever very lightly dabbled in game dev with Unity prior and it just never clicked for me. Godot has made game dev fun, it all makes sense to me compared to Unity, and I finally feel like I could actually make a proper game down the road.
