Months later, this game still keeps popping up in my head every so often... apparently I'm still not done thinking about it.

I pre-populated a spritesheet with all 242 unique pure-black-and-white transformations of the sprites allowed by the rules. Then each frame, I compare each 8x8-pixel region in the source image against all 242 sprites to find the best fit. For the "best fit" heuristic, I sum `f0 += src - dst` and `f1 += abs(src - dest)` for each pixel, add `abs(f0) + f1` to get the error, and pick the sprite with the lowest error value.
Managore has some good small fonts as well: https://managore.itch.io/m3x6 and https://managore.itch.io/m5x7
