The Legend of the Stoodley Pike Standing Stones (collaboration)
According to local Yorkshire folklore there were once standing stones on Stoodley Pike near Hebden Bridge. If moved, flames would appear from beneath them, & misfortune would occur until they were repaired. Even now a strange light may be seen on some nights there. A way to the otherworld, perhaps? Maybe UFOs? ... Maybe this Bitsy tale will help you piece together the strange goings on.
This Bitsy collaboration was created at Feral Vector 2019 as a paper jam, with each contributor creating 8x8 characters & dialog, which they added to a paper map of the area around Stoodley Pike. It was then turned into this Bitsy.

Nice and simple game, I really enjoyed all the different characters and the music was very mystic and fitting! (Still wondering where the pink leotard came from)
I don't know if you've heard of Game Development World Championship before (gdwc2019) but it's a competition for indie game developers where they can submit their games and it's free! It's great if you want some more visibility for the game and it only takes a couple of minutes to join :)
