Tryptic was created in NESmaker and originally designed for the Byte-Off 3 NESdev competition within one month, where it received the Best Game Award as well as many other mentions and acknowledgements. The original concept behind it was to make a game utilizing all of NESmaker's features all in one game. Since then, Tryptic has been in development for over a year and is now a full game! Tryptic ran a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2024 and was over 200% funded!
