Hand Cram

Hand Cram is a Pico-8 game that fits into just two tweets (that's less than 560 characters!).
It's based on a small web game I made a while back!

Controls

Arrows control the white circle

ESDF control the red circle

(yes, Pico-8 uses ESDF not WASD)

X to reset the game

You can reset by clicking the pause button and selecting "reset cart"

Goal

If the two circles touch you lose.

When a circle touches a dot of the opposite color it gets bigger (bad!)
When a circle touches a dot of the same color, it gets a little smaller (good!)

Survive as long as you can!

If you own Pico-8, you can run this on your machine by copy/pasting the above code into a new cart.

You can also download the cart directly if you'd like.

Reply to that tweet with your high score!

(Note: I updated the code slightly to add a reset function. Still under 560 characters!)
