Game ideas for the micro:bit oled screen extension which is the most limited thing ever

Arcade
1

first off:

Why's this on the arcade category?

its because there are more game makers in here, and makecode arcade kinda has it’s own limitations after all.

so, i have an oled screen for my micro:bit
oled example
and i need some ideas to make games on it.
the limits of this thing is:

  • there is only two colors, black and white. (no grayscale)

  • it can display an 8x8 image, a 16x16 image or a 2x scaled up version of a 16x16 image. thats it. no sprites, no backgrounds, no nothing. just display text or display image.

  • the screen size is 128x64 which kinda isnt a limitation because arcade has a 160 to 140 screen size.

  • the micro:bit can detect rotation and has an a and b button. so its just arcade controls but with a joystick instead of a d-pad.

ok i dont have time post ur ideas bye

Ooo, 2 bit!
You could do a storybook sort of game, in which the player presses a for yes or b for no to change to a new image. THe image would show the result of their choice!

You could do a text adventure where there are a lot of possibilities and different endings!

its 1 bit. 1 is on, 0 is off.

sorry but that seems kinda boring.

Prison escape puzzle game where you complete puzzles on the microbit.

i want something with images. (btw i can make an x and a y variable and place an image every frame in the x and y variable cordinates to make a sprite with no collision.)

11

a game where you press a to go left, b to go right and that theres falling barrels like in donkey kong.
so you need to dodge barrels that fall from the sky
