In 7 days, I tried to make a game with the weirdest game engine: PICO-8, a fantasy console that tries to emulate hardware restrictions of 1980s video game consoles like the NES (1985) and SNES (1991). I teamed up with the insanely talented, professional, full-time game dev and pixel artist ‪@ReeceGeofroy‬, who created the game’s art, and in one week we were able to put together "String Quest," a retro dungeon crawler game where you navigate two players connected by a string. This was also our entry to the Brackeys Game Jam 2021.1, which had a theme of “Stronger Together,” and the mechanics were inspired by Murphy's Walk, a game I made for the Extra Credits Game Jam #4 in 2019.
