Inspiration

This is my entry for the 2017 GitHub Game Off Game Jam. The theme for the game jam is "Throwback" and Whiskey Bear is inspired by the affordable handheld games of the 1980's. The graphics are simple and limited to match the style of the LCD displays. Character movement is limited to fixed positions in the play-field and the frame-rate feels a little slow and unnatural to match the same game-feel.
