#js13k no vr controllers this year, hand input! what could go wrong? 😨

#js13k day 12: first playtest session, got tons of valuable feedback. Campaign is now mostly polished, added gamepad controls, probably going to focus on polish now. 230 bytes remaining. Here's me doing a combo using a PS4 controller #gamedev

Day 11: Just one more refactor before we get the game fully working... c'mon man... last one I swear... #JS13K

#js13k day 11: first version of the icon

Day 3 of #js13k: shoving as many core mechanics as I can before I start running out of space. Currently at 66% file size. Unicorns are a thing. Tomorrow, rainbows 🌈🌈🌈 #gamedev

Day 2 - Prototype "The Unicorn and The Jabberwock". You play the unicorn fighting off the terrible Jabberwock to defend you little gnome friends. Nice rough start with help from #claude. Lots to do. #js13kgames #js13k #rainbowsandunicorns #gamedev #javascript #LittleJS @frankforce.bsky.social

Soon, this will actually look like a unicorn... #js13k
