It does mean ScriptScraper in my logo, but it was also the logo for a nazi party. ---

Oh crap I haven’t posted any teasers! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/2/72613a232ebb9d2bf2a7924f362671596b9d15cd.png) _A mysterious figure lurks the night_ * * * My game will be a story-heavy platformer where you play as a supervillain who turns against a large crime boss. It is heavily inspired by the movie **Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse** , as the player is quite similar to The Prowler and the crime boss is large. This jam has been really fun so far, I can’t wait to see what other people cook up! ---

1. If it appears in the asset section then it must include every colour in your palette, I don’t care what exploit you use. 2. You’re not competing, you never submitted a game for the qualifiers. ---

Everyone’s doing 4 or 3 colors, and I’m doing 9, is that a good sign? I should get bonus points lwkey ---

I’m guessing you could get extra points for the art since it is more artistic than doing an easier number? ---

Here’s a sneak peek for my game, “MOYOU FIGHT” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/e/c/ec17a60285959d0c384eab2a45c5db020a8b73d2.png) It’s a game inspired by Galaga. As you can see, I’ve been working on the enemies instead of the player. The color palette I chose has only two colors. However, I’m using my image mapping extension to map different _patterns_ on to the color regions I’m not using! So a sprite that looks like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/2/5/250bebc0aa21ec916d5702b9c143d8be2e273659.png) ends up looking like this in the game: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/9/8/989f6bd50b174aca4e34e04f080aafb5acad3c60.png) I’m using richard’s drawing utils to map a giant list of patterns that render on different color indexes: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/6/0/6094b2ab21f4ff4f82837436f3b4cd18fc75a39f.png) Hope you guys are excited!!
