I usually do 3D retro jams, like N64, but decided to do an SNES one this time. Hope to see you there!

Yes, loosely, I can add a specs link in the jam page tho. From what I’m aware sprites were either 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, or 64x64. Colors weren’t super limited, but you could only have 16 colors on a sprite, and there’s a limit to number of colors on screen at any one time. Here’s a helpful guide I found.

What a cool guide. Skips the total number of colors in screen, it’s 256.
