Epic. That's super cool. That dog thing is very cute though, I felt bad.

I definitely recommend checking out all top games from this competition over the years. Quite a few gems.
Imagine, if someone would start making operating system and its applications that are just kilobytes in size. RAM price crysis would resolve in a day.

Very nice! Lack of pathfinding hardly made itself visible, in intense combat I at first assumed they did have some kind of pathfinding
very cool, try it with other games
Great job!
the Wolfenstein3D-like game in only a few hundred bytes WITH SOUND might be even more impressive even though it's like exploits all the way down
oddly can't find a link to it at the moment
Very epic stuff
