Was Burnt Out From Work… Made A Platformer About It
A few years ago I was quite burnt out from work. Not being able to take time off, I still had to stare at a computer screen all day and try to get some work done. Somehow within that burnout, a spark hit: let’s make a game about a little guy, seemingly insignificant, trying to escape from their monotonous life. Having them be a Bit within an operating system seemed like a perfect fit.
A few years later and I launched Bit ESC, a 2D platformer where you try to “Break Free From The System”. You’ll platform through the desktop, jump into apps / games and make decisions that’ll affect you and the fate of the whole digital world.
You can find the game here:

Ironically I still had to stare at a computer screen A LOT to make the game.
