"Ret-row" is my entry for the 5th Kajam, a month-long event in which people make a video game from scratch, focusing each time on a specific aspect of game making, as chosen by its host. This Kajam's theme was "Retro", so a made a little retro style shoot-em-up where you control a row-boat. I started off pottering with some pixel art and music, not thinking I would actually submit anything, but found that the game started to take shape after a week or two, so decided to see it through to completion.
I did all of the game's pixel art on my phone in spare pockets of time using the app "8bit Painter". The music was done in Musescore using a set of NES instruments, to give a bit of an old-school flavour. The game is programmed in Python and uses Pygame.
