Back before Flash died, Nitrome had a few tiny games that could be played right in their thumbnail on the home screen. I love the similar minimalist vibe, it forces developers to focus on good gameplay mechanics

Now make it run on a bunch of LEDs

I swear the bug being caused by the controller is the type of thing to me all the time.

"oh wow yay." Is so relatable after smashing your head against a wall for a while haha.

If you think about it, Simon can be considered a game with 4 very large pixels...

Bro i litterally thought you had 300k+ subs bruh, I keep getting recommended all of this small game creators and I always try to give them love. Dont give up keep doing what you love!!!!

The KZfaq algorithm identified it as Minecraft 💀

Someone should make a game where you start with a small screen size like 3x3 and you explore the map and unlock upgrades to increase the screen size so you can see more and explore more

Very underrated! Hope this gets some more recognition sometime soon.

For 9x9 it has alot of gameplay, good job!

This is such a fun idea! I feel like if you just made the player and enemies brighter green and brighter red, outside the pallet your using, it would help visually clarify what’s going on

I tried out the game and it was pretty good, I hope you get more popular because your channel shows a lot of promise so far. Keep up the good work!

I watch a ton of devlog videos because i find them interesting. This one was just as good as other super popular ones, then i saw you had less than 400 subs, keep up the good work and content! You're really good at this!

why does youtube think that this is minecraft?

Pretty neat idea and execution. For world generation i would recommend looking into simplex noise - or in this case maybe even the wave function collapse algorithm, what is basically what you did but a little bit more advanced. 😊

Honestly amazing. Personally i never understood the gaming obsession of "bigger number is better"

i remember for a school project i made a 8x8 terminal game, a modified version of sokoban

That was such a cool and highly interesting video, loved every second of it! The game looks like a really cool concept! Also loved the way you presented everything haha

YOU ONLY HAVE LIKE 400 SUBS?? You need at LEAST 100k man, this was a really well made video! Also, very interesting concept, and you pulled it off nicely!

Dude your content is so underrated!!!!!!!!! i really love the final game ^^

The moment the video said "We need to talk about 1440p" i just switched quality to 1440 lol

This looks fun! Even with how simple it is it looks like a cute little game to pass the time, i wish i could play but for some reason it wont let me (probably my device) keep it up, this looks awsome!

Great video. this was really cool to watch. I'm 100% subscribing!

No advanced 3D rendering? Unbelievable.

I just realized you only have 1k subs bruh I thought you had like 100k, video was fire🔥

you jumpscared me, the voice volume was so low i increased my volume and then i literally heard a really loud "POOF" Lol

Really creative idea! I love it.

Congrats on almost hitting 500k subscribers! Oh wait... I mean 500. Bro you're too underrated!

you could easily port every single tile based roguelike game with careful engineering

you should use noise for procedural generation since it is parallelizable, allowing you to extend it infinitely and generate tiles out of order

this actually inspired me to make an old game idea I had in a minimal way

Finally, a game i can run

incredible video! subbed :)

Hmm.... This is the only video of yours ive watched but ive determined you are underrated! I'd really like to make my own indie games someday, ive never done real coding (ive tried some weird types of coding, idk how to explain) This game looks fun even though its uder 100 pixels, great job! Keep it up! (New sub! Hope i can learn some things from you!)

youtube recommended me this video, It is great, congrats, I'm subbing!

Congrats on ur vid blowing up!

Wow! Impressive grind

Good video bro! Keep it up!

I thought you had way more then 500 subs lol, keep up the good work!

This is really neat!

Very underrated! Gl

that seems to be one of the cases where using a dedicated game engine is probably getting in your way more than rolling your own. also it might be fun to implement on an rgb dot matrix (either 8x8 or 16x16.) and with a 16x 16 you can actually have numbers pretty easily (minimum readable being 2x4 and no compromise being 3x5 excluding spacing, so 3x5 and 4x6) though an ip in binary or some color code can work too. minimal input seems like 4 direction and one button, so could actually just use a single joystick. even on 9x9, you have enough pixels to write "WAVE" and the wave number and in theory you can even have a "3d" world (i.e. 2.5d like doom/rail shooter) in a 9x9 (with 1x3 characters) an rpg should also be possible. something that might be interesting would be making a custom pcb with a blackberry style trackball, an esp32c3 and either a tiny led matrix or a 72x40 0.42 inch screen. if you have the patienceor money, you could get 0404 rgb leds (1mmx1mm) for the 9x9 and have an even smaller game (if you stack pcbs, you can have a sub 10mm console by placing a very short 5 way joystick on the back.) and using a 400909 battery you can actually get to sub 10mm on each side with a fully autonomous console. Practical? nope. but it should work, and who cares about details like practicality and UX?. I found the EYSHSNZWZ bluetooth module that has an antenna in a sub 9mm form factor, so it is probably feasible to have a multiplayer portable console in the sub 1cm size format.

"55 non critical errors I chose to ignore and never fix" I see you've mastered the true art of programming, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

I’ve always wanted to make a game like this.

It reminds me of the tiles on an NES or C64, just flat-coloured.

This inspires me to make Minecraft for Microbit. 5x5 display. 1 colour. I’m stealing your brightness block breaking code and contextual placing reticule.

really underrated, i feel like watching 100k channel video

I love how whenever he shows his voice it's just else ifs

quite cool!

no way a coder this good only has 800 subs

Bro learned the hard way about deadzones on analog input XD

mad underrated 🔥

crashing while rendering only 100 pixels, thats some high level shieeett xD

I can't wait for 128k in the future

this is sick!

Welcome to the 700 subs club

Nice video

very cool, awesome video! also youTube thinks this is minecraft lol

is that adhesive wombat on background?!!?! someone still listens to it besides me?

underated!!

It would be cool if you could add in a shied generator when and it becomes like a tower defence kind of game.

ive done this before and its really fun, but easier to do with frameworks than game engines tbh

👍love it

55 noncritical errors you just let sit is honestly such a mood.

Meanwhile me playing SCP:SL at 800x600: .__.

i find it a bit counter intuitive that the max resolution of this video is in 4k.

I can see a potential “creative mode” for building with the traps and walls.

Can you make level number in binary? 2^81-1 waves sounds super fun :)

Adhesivewombat music, best channel (aside from mine)

Ultrakill 30p setting

Next vedio idea minecraft less than 20 megabyte

still higher quality then nintendo switch screen

very cool game

Personally I would just make chess which is 8x8 you could just have colors for each piece. Or like snake with 6x6 but those both make for bad videos so good job on your game.

Awesome video) when will u make 9x9 mmorpg? I will buy it

Coding is fun don't apologize for being impressed. It's always awesome when you make something that works as intended, feels powerful

nice, keep it up

alright so here are my thoughts going into this, why not make a game with just one pixel, the output being morse code like those text only adventure game! But if we were to go that far I mean why does the output have to be a single pixel? why not have 0 pixels audio only morse code text style adventure game! also if you were to use morse code for both input and output since it could be very low bandwidth you could put that game on a lot of different things how about that?

love it

Ultra retro

Epik :3 you get sub

the whoosh sound effect is so loud

Can you make a new mecanic that when a mob breacks a block makes a new block

Now make thisrun on a refridgerator

tetris can be done in 10x20 and imo tetris is very fun

why didnt you use perlin noise for the map generation?

Don't worry about not knowing how to implement multiplayer. Just remember: Even the people in networking say that the internet runs on magic. The first rule of networking is that you don't know shit about networking.

I might steal that game concept but make it using ascii art and no game engines just advance shell code.

are you able to change the size via a command?

night shade :0

epic

now make it play bad apple

Wait until he learns about tic tac toe.

Ahh yes, GODOUGH

Doesn’t matter to me, ya dont need much for a 480i crt.

KZfaq: ah yes, this is MINECRAFT

not realy pixels but idc cuz its a good vid

720p is goated

I live with 720p on absolutely everything I don't need no 4k

u can make pong with like 10 pixel, u made terraria with low resolution
