People ask what UNxR means. It’s pronounced “UNKser”: UN and R are the first letters of this year’s #js13k theme. R also stands for Rhythm, the core mechanic; x marks the crossover with Tempest-style gameplay. And if you dig a bit deeper, the whole name is a subtle nod to TxK.

here's a top down view of all 8 tracks in SP13KTRA 🌈 every track is built procedurally, the full 3D road with banked turns, hills and crossovers, and all the scenery. each one has its own theme, palette, and building shapes. and the whole game fits in 13 kilobytes! #js13k

here's the magic trick behind how I fit 8 music tracks in my #js13k game SP13KTRA. 🌈🚀 every song is defined by a single number. 😯 the random generator uses 26 dice rolls per track for its parameters. i used AI to make this music bench to find a good seed to fit each level.

I was expecting MORE games featuring rhinoceroses — after all, the theme of the year was "Unicorns and Rainbows," and they are essentially **real-life battle unicorns**. But so far, I haven't spotted another game with this animal. I wonder if @end3r.bsky.social feels the same...
