2024 Reset64 4kb 'Craptastic' Game Compo

We’re excited to present to you the 2024 Reset64 4kb Craptastic Game Competition official page.

“What the bloom’n heck does craptastic mean?”, I hear you ask.

It certainly doesn’t mean crap, although it can! Craptastic can mean ludicrous, bonkers, outrageous, funny, wacky, far out, and silly. The theme simply implies that the compo was just for a bit of fun, not a serious coding competition. Competitors were welcome to make an excellent game to submit for the compo, or games that contain some humour or silliness to fit more with the theme, but they didn’t have to!

The competition was limited to 4KB. Yes, any entry submitted could be no more than 4KB when compressed!

We hope you enjoy these wonderful games that were made for the compo. Thanks to all of the competitors and compo prize sponsors.
