Mrityuloka - TIC-80 256 bytes

An attempt at drawing a landscape, was going to be much more minimal at first but i was unsure about the style so i released this.

Had plenty of spare bytes so used them for the backdrop / gradient with SCN. (per scanline color manipulation)

Layered ellipses, mostly. Lua code packed with pakettic.
