Notes

This was our first game jam together. We had to struggle with learning many brand new tools while designing this game, but were glad to have the opportunity. Because of this, and because of a bit too much time on visuals and not enough on mechanics and content (most definitely due to over scoping) we were unable to 'finish' the game to our vision. There are many bugs to resolve, and a whole boat load of content to deliver.

Please enjoy our beautiful, stylized game - we look forward to releasing a full game sometime in the next several months.
