About Cathedral builder
This game has been created for the 2023 js13KGames jam which theme was "13th Century". js13kGames is a JavaScript coding competition for Web Game Developers running yearly since 2012. Will you be able to build a cathedral in less than 100 years?
Cathedral builder was submitted to the js13kGames 2023 competition by Homer Dilpleu. 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. MGE (Mini Game Engine) Cathedral builder is baseed on MGE (Mini Game Engine) which is a minimalist and easy to use engine for simple 2D games.
