Cartridge the Tiger is a pixel art platformer with a built-in level editor and C# SDK. I wanted to create something that exists somewhere between a game and a game engine, a toy box that can be enjoyed by casual players, kaizo players, level designers, people learning how to code, developers, and everyone in-between.
