"Caverns of the Souleater"
Father told you these caverns hold a great treasure. But all you've found are endless tunnels and venomous snakes. As your torch burns low, you wonder if the gold was ever real. And why he didn't share this with your brother?!

"Heat signature"
You hide behind the rubble and watch the kid, who listens for drones. Vigilant and obedient not curious or joyful like kids used to be. Was it worth it, leaving a broken homeland? The border is close, just one more push. Just avoid the machines

new game: ghost patrol! protect the town from an onslaught of spoooky spectres

I'd describe the gameplay as "open-ended puzzles" -- you'll have to be thinky and strategic with your movement, but I haven't designed it with any particular solutions in mind.

personally I've been playing it way too much - I'm hoping someone can beat my scores! but just clearing levels is an accomplishment too -- I'm told it's quite hard

I've compressed an #Othello #game into 1KB of #pico8 #code for the #pico1k game #jam.

Play Kilothello in your browser now: https://winslowjosiah.itch.io/kilothello

#gamejam #programming #gameprogramming #demo #demake #1k #1kb #1024b

There's a small #jam called #pico1k going on right now, where you make #pico8 games in 1,024 (compressed) bytes or less.

I decided to do a #demake of sorts. I took the essential bits of my newest game, Apathello, and whittled them down into this #1k cartridge. I call it Kilothello.
