GB Pixel Art Jam 2026 - SpaceDeck Trio

Posted in GameDev · 1 minute read

I participated in my first pixel art jam! It was a Game Boy themed one. It was a lot of fun to work with such a limited palette. The theme was Three, and I went with three player ships from SpaceDeck X. I was happy to see how well my sprites translate into the Game Boy's original colors.

Once I finished drawing it, I had to animate it, so here is the animated version:

Pixel art animation of three player ships from my game SpaceDeck X facing a boss. Four colors, Game Boy palette.

I even toyed with the idea of making a small demo game for it (not a real Game Boy cartridge), but due to the time limit, I went with a single animation (which has 48 frames).

I use Aseprite to draw and animate. You can find my jam submission here. Hope you like it!
