From The Developer:
Thanks for checking out my game. Thanks to my family who put up with me for the past week as I got this game built.
My goal with this year's project was to focus on creating a unique and original game. The technical skill I wanted to focus on in particular was polish. I'm happy with some of what I learned. There's still more I could have done like adding in more sound effects and thinking of a better game, but I like how the game fit the theme. 10 days may seem like a lot, but there's still only so many hours I was able to put into the game.
I hope you enjoy what I have made.

Are you submitting a game to the game jam?
I would love to and actually "joined", but I'm not far enough in the course to get anything built yet. I hope to join another jam soon. :)
Good luck with your course and hope to see your game in a jam.
Thank you!
