Liken it to the 4kb demoscene: it's amazing what can be done with a little bit of information, as long as you don't have to describe the machine running it.

Or the distribution method, or even really invent the thing, since you're mostly just copying someone else's work. Plus it doesn't have to even do anything. In fact, doing anything might be a problem, so best to just sit there and look menacing (and spikey).
