Bit Butcher was submitted to the js13kGames 2022 competition by Luke Nickerson. It earned competition recognition. Like every js13k entry, the entire game — code, art, and audio — fits in 13 kilobytes, a constraint that rewards focused, clever design over bulk. Made with LittleJS v1.3.8, a micro framework by the innovative Frank Force.
