About The Treasure of the Nibelungs
The Treasure of the Nibelungs is a arcade game by Sebastian Dorn, submitted to the js13kGames 2023 competition. Like every js13k entry, it was built from scratch in under 13 kilobytes — code, art, audio and all — which is an extraordinary constraint that forces clever, focused design.
This entry is part of our catalogue because it represents the spirit of the size-limited game jam. Play it on the official js13k showcase to see what fits in 13KB. (Factual placeholder — a full review will follow.)
