With one of the rules being:
Does that definitely exclude the inclusion of a cursor in any way? I assume so but just to be sure... I do enjoy me some pointer control
I guess from my understanding that you can use a cursor in your game, but this cursor has to be controlled by GameBoy-like controls.
This means, imo, that this cursor should be controlled using arrow keys to move and max two buttons for interactions.
Dang so no mouse clicking on stuff I assume?
No mouse allowed
