Accelerator
A minimalist reaction game inspired by racing games and playing with a stopwatch.
Press X when counter is within range of target number to accelerate and increase your score, miss 3 times and it's game over.
This game was made for TweetTweetJam 11, and fits in just 500 bytes of code

Nice fonts in just 500 chars, beautiful use of `ord` and binary prints, I managed to make it up to 19 points.
Thank you! They're actually the same font, with just the scale parameter and the print command changed. It is pretty tricky to get a very high score, I'm thinking of ideas for a more fleshed-out version and am considering changing the mechanics a bit to allow a pronounced feeling of acceleration while still making scoring feasible.
Love the LCD look!
Fun, and very stylish!
Thanks! I was actually working on a non-tweetcart number game, but it was too complex and not very fun, and in brainstorming for TTJ, I figured I'd try making a much simpler version of it, and it's actually more fun. I've had some comments from people interested in a less-limited version, so I'm trying to figure out some ideas for that.
