ATTRIBUTIONS:

Everything was made by me except for the following:

  • My 10-year-old son made one of the tracks during the game jam that this game came from.
  • The main game font is from Google Fonts.

Please know that the game  started as a game for Chili Code Jam #2, but has received updates since the game jam. However, the original game jam version is still available for download. : ]
