let's go to the getty

a game about going to the getty museum and getting INSPIRED.

my partner set up a date at the getty to spark inspiration for each of our upcoming games! and although a little on the nose... this is the result of that date! what can i say: getting to see all sorts of art from different periods in one place -- and sharing interpretations and colorful commentary with my partner -- sparked joy and i wanted to share :)

this is my second-ever bitsy game (you can check out my first one here)! i wanted to expand a bit more on my first game, and implement new mechanics and hacks i've learned, namely the more complicated pixel art when you interact with a frame on the wall.

i'll be taking a pause on making bitsy games -- now onto learning new game design tools!
