And Im not the only one who enjoyed the game.
Oddly, half of those players are from Spain.
The Games Origin
Perhaps the most interesting thing about2020 Gameis how it came to be.
Garkavyy coded the title in Javascript with no prior knowledge of game development.
“My basic idea was, its simple, right?
“There were actually tutorials explaining that.
Despite me being a total newbie in programming, it worked.”
Whats So Good About it?
2020 Gameis a simple, 8-bit graphic side-scroller; its short and easy to catch on to.
Once I got to the games website, I automatically started playing.
Only the four arrow keys on the keyboard are necessary to play.
I got to save a koala from the Australian wildfireshow cute and humanitarian!
Garkavyy has a bunch of those warm, human touches throughout the game.
The hardest part of2020 Gamewas avoiding the coronavirus (how very on-brand for 2020, right?)
while wearing a mask.
Then there was the section on collecting toilet paper.
And, as you could see in the screenshot below, George Floyd gets a tribute.
And I mean, come on, there was even a moment about Tik Toks rise.
Oh, and more levels, c’mon!
I am not ashamed to say that I played this game more than once.
Thats really not my typical gaming style, but this fun little web app definitely has got me.
