Beautiful Pixels the API was a concept for a game jam:
- Everyone decides to write either a game, or a visualizer.
- Games write out to a low resolution, palletized, frame buffer.
- Visualizers render the low-rez games in high-rez, in some novel way.
Well, the last Game Jam we had, we picked another theme, Game Mad Libs. The Beautiful Pixels API only had a few small games we made for it in pre-jam planning days.
Below are screen shots of games using the Beautiful Pixels API:

I like the name 'Beautiful Pixels'. Anyway, I also like the idea of your game concept :)
