@nallebeorn.seI made a game for js13kGames this year, and published a blog post about the making of it:
@fabiosantoscode.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyTrading #js13k reviews was fun the last time. Today I can't bear to do it.
There are too many full AI games.
I click a random game. I play it. Slop again. A person who finished 5 games happily reviews it. I sigh and look for the next one.
Hoping for some human who tried to Do Something during [โฆ]

@glebv.bsky.socialPeople ask what UNxR means.
Itโs pronounced โUNKserโ: UN and R are the first letters of this yearโs #js13k theme.
R also stands for Rhythm, the core mechanic; x marks the crossover with Tempest-style gameplay.
And if you dig a bit deeper, the whole name is a subtle nod to TxK.
