New game: Play It By Trust (Sky Blue Super Mario Bros.)
|
Hello you, As promised, I'm letting you know that I released a game just now called Play It By Trust (Sky Blue Super Mario Bros.). You can read more on its webpage, but in a nutshell it's a "port" of Yoko Ono's Play It By Trust (White Chess Set) from 1966. That is, it's a version of good old Super Mario Bros. with all the colours set to the "sky blue" of the overworld. It looks like this: Yep, this one is much along the lines of a quick conceptual experiment than anything terribly fun to play. It was fun to make though! That link to the game again is: Play It By Trust (Sky Blue Super Mario Bros.) Until next time, |

That and other work stuff has taken up most of my time the last couple of weeks. That said, I did release Play It By Trust (Sky Blue Super Mario Bros.) last week, which you probably saw since I emailed you about it. I'm happy with how it turned out,...
Dearest You, At some point in the (potentially deep) past you signed up for that newsletter I pretty much never sent. Well, I'm older now, and wiser (or at the very least more tired), and more admiring of email than ever for its pointed lack of platformy qualities. So, I want to resurrect the idea of writing that newsletter. With, I guess, "news" in it. So here I am, using this newsletter service called Kit, and we shall see. If you're like "what the hell, Pippin, why do you still have my...
