Luke: Simultaneous collaboration between artist, level designer, programmer, player. Kids/anyone could redraw all the artwork on the fly, did so all the time

Made at the Game jam (2017), using the Spring joystick (2017).

Used in Thank you, Notion (2018).

We made a modified copy of the "Move Buddy" page, and accidentally put both pages up at the same time. Result: two independent Buddies, both controlled by the same joystick. So we then put up three.
