Are text controlled games allowed?

By text controlled I mean a character that is moved with text. While the character would be graphical, the actual gameplay would be text based. Something like the Turtle? That was used to teach BASIC


Edit: Something like the bitsy games. Also can you mention if they are legal then how high can we go in the resolution.

No, this is clearly against the limitation. You may only have a text controlled game if the graphics are text as defined on the jam page.

There are no limitations on resolution. Take a look at the previous text only jam for examples.
