* I made a demake of the mobile game "Ready... Steady... Bang!" in 560 characters for #TweetTweetJam5!
    It was a tight fit, but I was able to fit a sound effect (1), AI, a 2 player mode, and a barebones menu!

*gardener's note: objectively, this game is ass. it's funny that it's technically the first game I ever published (on itch.io).*

*this game sticks out to me pretty strongly from my childhood--I'm not sure how much I actually played it, but it definitely made a mark.*
