About Limits

Limits is an arena shooter where the game has to fit in 16 KB of memory. Floor tiles, enemies and bullets all cost bytes for as long as they exist.

If the memory fills up, the Garbage Collector comes after you. You fight off waves of enemies while keeping your allocations under control, and you survive as many waves as you can.
