1-Bit Retro: Pixel Beard's Beard Snatchers, 1954

Here's a work in progress video of Will 'Pixel Beard' Faulds' Beard Snatchers, 1954. The Flash game with its 1-bit who-needs-colour aesthetic hearkens back to the original Mac OS System 1.

If this an aesthetic you enjoy, also be sure to check out Ace Team's (of ZenoClash renown) previously covered The Malstrums Mansion.

I DO enjoy this aesthetic, takes me back to a time where I goobed out on the likes of Glider. Clicking those links to learn more.

Videos are so convenient for showing off in-dev progress like this — it's silent too, which makes me wonder where the sound is. For the artier crowd, I know Vimeo is popular, but YouTube's HD mode (when you need to scale that large) is better (and free to embed).
