I love this idea! I have a lot of little game memories that would fit perfectly into this form. I wonder how much of our feelings about particular moments are informed by the process of playing up to that point or what comes after. e.g. the introduction of the Medium Tank in Advance Wars is uninteresting on its own but really funny in retrospect when you get to the end of the game and you still have yet to see anything bigger (well i found it funny anyway).

Very interesting concept as well as technical execution by encoding the whole thing into the PNG pixels :)

Also cool to see myself featured there, so in case you need another homebrew game with access to the source try https://gitlab.com/BonsaiDen/vectroid.gb

Thanks for writing Tuff! It was the main game we used during testing.
