Pico Ascii Game Jam 2026 Entry - Picopolypse

🎮 Pico Acii Jam Submission | Retro Handheld-Style Game Dev 🕹️ This video showcases my entry for the Pico Acii Jam, hosted on itch.io. The challenge: build a game using provided PICO-8 ASCII-style visuals with strict creative constraints. For this jam, I went all-in on a Game Boy Color–inspired aesthetic, blending classic handheld vibes with ASCII-driven gameplay. In this video, I walk through: 🧠 The core idea and playthrough of the game 🎨 How I used the visuals 🛠️ Development challenges & constraints 🚀 What worked, what didn’t, and what I’d improve next time Game jams are always a great reminder that limitations fuel creativity, and this one was no exception. 👉 Play the jam and check out other entries here: https://itch.io/jam/pico-acii-jam If you enjoy retro development, game jams, or classic handheld-style games, feel free to like, comment, and subscribe — more dev logs and jam projects are on the way.
