You’re not cooked, I won’t be able to make a lot of characters in the time limit, I’m still making the knockback physics and I haven’t even finished making one character. ---

When you don’t know what sport to pick for your game, you let people make their own. ![ScreenRecording2026-04-14at3.07.18PM-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/5/05445d570ca1b2b9683d959e5f0a350fafc3afd4.gif) ---

It probably won’t be better than Pixel Smash, that’s just my skill of making games look cooler than they actually are, I used it to tie with you in the Heist Jam. ---

reminds me of those kinds of games where you switch gravity and stuff. This game actually looks like a fun multiplayer game tho. ---

Games looking better than they actually are is one of my main tricks in making good games. I could write a whole essay on this, but “fake it till you make” it is one of the best things to keep in mind while making games. It’s not just having the art make it look better, but coding around the limitations. Your inventory system can only hold 36 items and dropping isn’t an option? Just only code 36 items. There’s a game-breaking bug that only happens sometimes? Leave it in. Especially in a jam, where you don’t have time to change your whole collision system or such. Also, pixel smash’s gameplay is kinda buns. ---

welcome @bizziboi! Hope you have a good time in the makecode forums 🙂. Since this is for sports, that should be a completely valid game as long as it involves sports!
