"Caverns of the Souleater"
Father told you these caverns hold a great treasure. But all you've found are endless tunnels and venomous snakes. As your torch burns low, you wonder if the gold was ever real. And why he didn't share this with your brother?!

Finished up my entry for this year's #pico1K Jam!

Pivop1K is a demake of an older game of mine squished all the way down to a single kilobyte of compressed source code!

Wow! That's so small for all this head-swinging action!

I still have some time to make something for Pick-1K!

I just have to remember that the jam uses *COMPRESSED* bytes and not character count this time.

Come to this! I am promoting it as hard as I can! And I pulled an extremely heavy storage bin down from our studio loft on a 12 foot ladder by myself to make sure that we would have good prizes! (Don't tell anyone I did that though)

Hey! Everything is terrible, but Tuesday night can be slightly less terrible if you come to this! It will be dumb and fun and there will be a tournament and prizes and good music (also probably some bad music, but in a fun self aware way)!

Last time I saw Black Moth Super Rainbow, almost ten years ago, it prompted me to purchase a gong for an alt-control game I never made.

Hoping to come out of this show without purchasing any instruments.

If you see Chase Bank later tell them I paid my credit card using their website.
