Blog post from GitHub
The js13kGames competition, with a theme of "SPACE" this year, challenged developers to create engaging games within a 13 kilobyte limit, showcasing impressive technical skills given the constraints. The competition inspired various interpretations of the theme, including creative twists on classic games like Asteroids and Space Invaders, as well as innovative puzzle games. Highlights included "Space Huggers," "The Adventures of Captain Callisto," and "Galaxy Rider," each praised for their technical achievements, unique gameplay, and aesthetic design. The event, organized by @end3r, emphasized community participation, with developers themselves rating and reviewing entries on the js13k website. Additionally, GitHub's upcoming Game Off event was promoted as an opportunity for aspiring and experienced developers to create their own games.
