Get Jess Back

A short choose-your-own-adventure game for JS13k 2019 The hard part is the dang graphics, I tells ya. To save space, I use as few bytes as possible. They're pseudo-vector, meaning they're a whole bunch of points that I pass to a draw method, which makes fills of a selected color.

Get Jess Back was submitted to the js13kGames 2019 competition by Randy Tayler. 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. What makes it harder is that in order to shave a few bytes off when zipping, I tried to round the points to the nearest ten.
