2022, my sixth entry for js13k. I abandoned all the dreams of trying to impress with a huge game, and instead created a tiny arcade game/toy that my daughter could play and enjoy. It's also pretty challenging if you play in hardcore mode.
2021, my fifth entry for js13k. Wanted to create a simple arcade game with nice visuals and audio and a cute storyline. I think it worked out pretty well!
2020 - Fourth time I participated in the js13k challenge. I assembled together an awesome team and our entry was impressive, technically...
2019, my third entry for js13k. I only managed to invest a small amount of time so the end result was a bit smol. Still was an interesting experiment on procedural generation for pokemon-like creatures including vector visuals. Not much of a game in the original submission, honestly, but decided to add a bit more to it in 2023 and it's looking better.
2018, my second entry for js13k. When the results were out I was walking the San Francisco wharf with Thomas Biskup. Was super disappointed with the results (didn't make it to the top 100). Floaty controls and a lack of a more appealing theme killed this one. I loved the music done by Ryan Malm, inspired by Tyrian!
2017, my first entry for JS13K which I'll always remember because my daughter was born the same day I finished it. I thought it was going to be very impressive but instead was hard for the judges to get through mainly because of some onboarding I removed to fit the 13k. I'm still very happy with it. An undersea adventure inspired by Aquaria.
