Bitku

"Creative limitation is the concept of how purposely limiting oneself can actually drive creativity." - wikipedia

I've supported Pixeljam for a few years now, and I like a fair bit of their stuff. Bitku is different, yes. imo it's pretty viral, and memetastic. I mean, if you have zero creative desire, you should probably avoid this game, as it's not expressely a *game,* with a set *objective*...there's no points, no real scoring system, and all you can really do with your work, is export it, lol. but if you're looking to craft weird stories, make funny memes, or aotherwise do something a bit different, with an 8-bit retro spin, give this a try! I did this in about 5 minutes, behold my masterpiece! https://ibb.co/gYe0Tv (I mean, it's free, what else were you exepcting, exactly?)

i think its a pretty neat small comic game, it does what its supposed to and its 100% free, you can do some pretty neat stuff with it, like I just made an island out of upside down cabbages that I colored yellow! :D And I made a pirate ship out of sausages painted brown and made a treasure chest out of bottles and cherries. The game limits you in a sense where you only have few materials, but can create infinitely from those materials. I suppose its not everyones cup of tea, and appears a bit goofy at first glance, but i like trying to figure out what I can do with the picture pieces the game gives me and see if I can create a cohesive story with it. 7/10 I think the game is awesome, if it had steam workshop and could play the comics like flipnotes i think it would be amazing. Try it its free.

Bitku invites you to stretch your imagination and come up with a story using just a handful of random pieces. It's not much of a game, but it's fun to play with for a while.

This sucks so much ballsack. I might as well play powder game on dan-ball.jp if I want to make something with pixels. You literally get 6 things to choose from. I was miserable having to play this stupid thing for five minutes just to leave this review.

In Bitku you are given a choice between 2 random themes, and then given a few panels to assemble the pixel characters and items into a "comic" coherent or not. Its as simple as that and I thought it was pretty neat.

This is a great concept. I love the simple nature of this design. This is a poetic little program/game. It allows you to access your creativity without being overwhelmed with too many possibilites. It gives you an accessable framework to start pondering how to put things together in a creative way to get the visionary juices flowing. I actually found myself being even more creative, having to think outside of the box, on how I could repurpose items in the limited collection to create the result I was looking for. Good job Pixeljam! I love your games and your creative vision! Keep up the great work!

Remove it from shop while you have time

I found this really boring, and kind of useless.

Played the beta of this when it was first released. I like the limitations - Gotta work with what you're dealt. It's a lot of fun!
