Did you work in a team?
This was a solo project. Everything except one sound effect was done by me. It was fun to have the time to put on all the hats required to create a full game: programming, art, sound, music.
Was the resolution a challenge?
Mainly the character art. I didn't think I could cram all the details that I could in a 8x8 sprite. There were also challenges with smooth scrolling, camera zooming, and movement.
What did you learn?
This being a 3-week jam, I found that take things slow and steady and keeping the scope small allows for a lot of time for polishing.

Lots of fun, I really liked the music!
This is pretty cute and simple fun. Curious if you could make this more interesting by allowing the player to combo destroying the same gem type in a sequence to a score multiplier or something similar.
simple and really fun, good job.
Super addictive game with really cute graphics!
Simple and cute game, perhaps the best choice for this kind of jam. It was very pleasant to play.
Really impressive! Love the graphics and hwo you have a bigger image of your character to help the imagination along. Lovely style palette and effects. Awesome job! Please check ours out too: https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam-2020/rate/732044
Cool game! I like the music :)
A clear illustration of "simple is genius". I like it a lot, especially music. :)
A bit difficult at the beginning but hear me out: I love this fluff-cute-pastel-color style! Put this into an arcade machine and collect coins for each play🤣!
Cute game, plays well. Simple design and simple mechanichs make a good start for a quality finish. Well done!
Cute character design!
Excellent game, loved when I would clear the whole screen by setting off a chain reaction. Very satisfying.
A very fun game, would have benefited from some kind of level progression. The text effects are lovely!
Thanks for playing it! There is a progression system of sorts in the game; the number of enemies that spawn increases as you keep destroying more of them. There was a plan to add distinct levels to the game, but that didn’t come to fruition.
