Dying is Feedback. Death is information. 1-1(bit) is a puzzle platformer made in Pulp for the Playdate. The platforms are invisible and the player builds a mental map of the level layout through traversal and observation… but is there more to the game than a grid of dots? You must be dreaming. Players Can reveal the level using the B menu. Players also tend Not to do that. Inspiration This game was inspired by a similar project shown at Fantastic Arcade. It was a beautiful wooden arcade wall mount that consisted of a joystick and a single, vertical strip of red LEDs. As you navigated the level you ‘viewed’ it 1-pixel slice at a time by observing your dot’s position.
Ledbetter Games has been making and showing Playdate games in Austin, Tx for the last couple years. They created the ART series, CHEK for 2-4 players and are very much looking forward to seeing you play 1-1(bit) Off-Planet Dreams and perhaps creating a level or two of your own!
Games Y'all is a meetup presented by The Museum of Human Achievement. We endeavor to celebrate, amplify, and support the unique and underrepresented within indie games and beyond.
