Had a go at making a tweetcart, it's supposed to be a seagull dodging cannonballs.

Remember the single-game LCD handhelds where you had to dodge oncoming traffic with your racing car? In homage to those I made Ghost Drivers, a #PICO8 #TweetCart you can actually play!

It took me forever to do this, but I have finally managed to fit it into a #pico8 #tweetcart !
It's a typing game where you need to type the words that come in before they reach the left edge, if it does the game just crash(because I ran out of tokens) #tweetjampic.twitter.com/OEBXf7Zq6R
I have made it fancier(279 bytes now).
