Sounds fun ^^.
I would enter TTM level1, but it isn't black and white.
I will judge though.

Sounds fun! I'm in. :)
Where do we upload the finished .exe?
And should we export for just windows?
Or Mac and Linux too?
What should the screen res. be?
Should we also do a windowed, and full screen mode?
Sorry for all the questions, just curious. :)

Also, do the graphics have to be 8-bit?
And I know it's B&W, but if I were to implement blood into my game, could I make it red? Or is that forbidden?

Can we double the screen res.? (320x288)
The Screen will still be the same size, just easier to work with.
