our third jam, with 20 teams creating games for retro hardware! and our first compo on gamejolt.
You could work alone or in a team (4 max). All game content (art, music, ..) must be created in the compo. All previous code, public libraries, middleware, engines are allowed. Games must be based on the theme. Source code must be included in your gamejolt entry.
If you've ever played Phantom Slayer on the Dragon/Coco, it's a bit like that with Princesses. You explore a maze full of fairly lethal princesses, and have a gun with a very slow recharge (so you can't just wade in to them DOOM style)
A Game created for the Commodore 64, Runs on Actual hardware as well Reach the bottom to win :)
This game is an RPG typing game that was made for BITBITJam3 It was made completely by one person using Qbasic for MS-DOS. It has been designed to run on a IBM XT 286 with CGA Graphics and 256k of RAM. As I do not have a 286, I have tested this with DOSBox with the graphics set to CGA and the cycles turned down to 600.
Red Queen has been captured inside deadly maze, she is going to kill everything on her way to freedom.
The Princess has to escape from the Royal Castle killing Aznar clones, Captain Zurrapa and other deadly enemies avoiding spikes everywhere! Help her get her crown back!
You are a princess, but even so you sometimes have to do the dirty work. The mad king orders to go to the dungeon and repaint it... with the blood of the monsters there!
This is a C64 game (yes, for that old but good Commodore machine!) made for bitbitjam3 in 2016. It plays in the web player from Gamejolt, but very slow. To get a more genuine feeling, I recommend downloading the PRG file and playing it with the VICE emulator.
We made this Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game in 7 days for the #bitbitjam3.

You are little Timmy. Be a good boy and pay attention to mom's advice. Exceed level 4 and get your reward. Be smart, you are the slowest thing out there, learn how to use boats to your advantage. It may be challenging sometimes, don't give up!
Almost every code is written from scratch. Some graphics are ripped off and others created by my and. No music at all. Enjoy!
Primarily, other than introductory text, it is a boss battle against a dragon. Get four spear-throws against it and you win. However, allow four fireballs to hurt you, and it's game over for both you and the princess.
Based very loosely on the story of Saint George and the Dragon, but, you know, swapping in a princess instead of Saint George.

This is a Game Boy Color ROM for use on real GBC hardware or emulator. For best experience, use a good emulator, such as BGB. The gamejolt emulator is not great...

It might have been a little too much to learn in only one week. The game does have a vertical scroll, but not fully working (palette not working, so the game looks crappy...), no sound or music (this is the worst in my opinion, planned to do it with famitone2 lib and famitracker). The graphics are not so good because we found out quite late what would be possible to do, and what wouldn't. Obviously not so much was possible with current code :) Although it was very fun to do, we are quite disappointed with what came out.
Maybe we will try to improve it, after the jam has ended.
