Writeup
Space Sparse is a 2D sidescroller created during a weekend game jam with the theme "limited space." The design turns a single button into the core of the experience: press Space to keep moving while carefully managing fuel so you do not drift into deep dark space.
The limited input gave the game a clear arcade identity and made every movement decision feel immediate and risky.
This was my first group project and my first time working under such a short game jam deadline. It taught me a lot about version control, fast decision-making, and how to merge different creative visions into one playable idea.
Gameplay features: one-button movement, fuel management, power-ups, high-score chasing, and 2D pixel-art presentation.
