Did you work in a team?
Only me. Tried to keep the scope low because I didn't have that much time for this project.
Definitely a lot of fun, already looking forward to the next one!

Was the resolution a challenge?
The hardest thing was probably to come up with mechanics that fit a low resolution. You have to consider if the resolution can support enough information to convey how the game works.

What did you learn?
I find game jams with restrictions really intriguing, because they force you to be more creative.

It is especially important for game jams where you only have a limited amount of time to try not to spend too much time on one aspect of the game. Move on to the next thing instead to try to polish into oblivion.

Game jams like this are great to learn when to move on to the next thing and work with these restrictions.

Silly little game.. not too hard to play.

Graphics are great for such low-resolution! Well done.

This was quite a funny idea... Good job on seamlessly integrating title screen with the game play

Fun little game! My favorite part was the initial toss of the hot dog and the smooth animation from title screen to game. Very nice!

Cute :) I love the graphics, and the game itself is really quite addictive for such a small scope

Good game, I have been playing about 10 minutes because I am rating several games but this one in particular I would play again between games of other video games (LoL), it is fun, fast, original and you really feel that you are controlling a free falling hot dog , it made me smile. ^^
