Just submitted my entry into 2023. It's a shmup inspired by Lazy Dev Academy's first shmup tutorial and I tried to pack as much polish into 1024 compressed bytes that I could!

Nailed it! We now have procedurally-generated space debris.

72 bytes left, is there anything else I can squeeze in πŸ€”

A little better, but looks a little painful

Still 200 compressed bytes left! It's surprising just how far 1KB will get you. Let's see how much polish I can cram in there...

I was hoping I'd be able to condense my beloved starfield effect enough to be able to fit it into my entry. Even better: I was able to condense it into a tweetcart (tootcart?)!

p={}
for i=1,32 do
add(p,{x=rnd(127),y=rnd(127),v=rnd(10)/10})
end
function _update()
for s in all(p)do
s.x-=s.v
if s.x<0then
add(p,{x=128,y=rnd(127),v=rnd()})
del(p,s)
end
end
end
function _draw()
cls()
for s in all(p)do
z=5
if(s.v>0.3)z=6
if(s.v>0.7)z=7
pset(s.x,s.y,z)
end
end

Like, this can't possibly be my entry because it's getting out of hand already with the player movement alone. But I just ... have to make him. He's my little long legged bean boy

We're going back to the 90's for my current entry into Jam 2023! πŸ–ΌοΈπŸ‘€
(I'll give you a clue - it's not a sailboat πŸ˜‰)
A few more tweaks/optimisations to make the most of 1KB and I'll be done πŸ€“

At 648 bytes, this is already bigger than my entry from last year, and as you can see, there's a couple of things to hook up still. Should be able to squeeze in some extra polish and features, though.
