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](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/343af9ca03a0a8bdb5512bcea16640af8f900d28.jpeg) 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! ---
