A real short, real stupid game made for Bitsy Jam 74 - The Little Things

Play as an incompetent painter and clutter up a perfectly nice wedding portrait with all sorts of early renaissance doodads and impossible objects.

I made this thing in a real rush so it’s probably full of bugs. (The online editor did not like this file!)

The ending screen was produced with Pixsy, the existence of which I am very thankful for. No way was I going to draw all those eight-by-eight tiles myself for the final portrait.

The portrait is of course based (and… an improvement???) on the Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck, although I also stole from Holbein’s The Ambassadors and Durer’s Melencolia I Maybe we can all pretend this version of the portrait was painted by van Eyck’s mysterious brother, Hubert, who was a time traveling plagiarist.
