My first ever pixel artwork was this fish i drew for the tutorial:

This sprite was for a platformer i made (it had decent gameplay but the projet got wiped sadly)

I very distinctly remember realising that the screen was a limited size (or is it???) after trying to zoom lol Me finding out that you could switch the palette (this was the tedious method of using the colour blocks as the colour palette UI didn’t exist yet) These were both made about 3 years ago (man where did the time go…) I had loads of other projects from 2020 but those got wiped as I didn’t save them.

i’ve defo come a long way since 2020, hard to believe that i’ve been pixelling and coding for 5 years now 😅

my first ever game, I didn’t know what to name it at the time.  
I don’t even know what I was doing…

This is at least one of my first games, it’s the same character as the first one.

My first game was Gliders but I made that like in…uh..2020 or something like that. My first game since I joined the forums (All the games I’ve posted are from 2020-2023 but I have 3 2024-2026 games) is Pixel Pistons which I lost. I’ve been on MakeCode for something like 5 years but the games I’ve posted are mainly from 2020. Here is a history if you even care:  
2020 - BiomeExplorer (it was 6 years later when I asked permission to use the assets 😆)  
2020 - Gliders (my first game I decided to post on the MakeCode forums)  
2021 - Dirt bike racing game (2026 update is coming soon guys)  
2024 - Helheim (probably my worst game)  
2026 - Dirt bike update (coming soon)  
2026 - Star Wars as a Zelda game (coming soon)  
2026 - Makecode Town (demo on 12 of June)  
2026 - Pixel Pistons (code lost and many game features)  
2026 - Train sim (hopeful thoughts about this one)

As you can see, I have posted a lot of my games from \<2024 in 2026, but a lot of my games are from that age.
