Battle of the Bitsy
 
  Sep 14th 2024 10:46am
 
 
Bitsy is a browser based engine described by its creator as a "little editor for little games or worlds." As a result of its ease-of-use, the simplicity of its graphical and musical capabilities, and its small file sizes, it is a decently popular choice for short, narrative-driven games on itch.io, although it has been used for other types of games as well.

The rules for the battle are straight-forward: simply make a game of any kind using Bitsy.

good question, i've been thinking about that myself. in particular, Borksy
seems to be a popular tool for Bitsy mods, and its users have gotten some great mileage out of that tool (in fact, i think the majority of the Bitsy games i've enjoyed have used it in some capacity).

that being said, i'm leaning towards no, since i think the challenge of trying to make something worthwhile with a super limited set of tools is what would make a Bitsy major battle interesting, and allowing mods seems to go against that.

(i'm happy to hear other takes though, if anyone has any)
