This was our first serious attempt at a project, and even with the handicap of most of us having actual jobs eating up our last day I think we did alright.
Sadly a major bug with jumping popped up right as the lead programmer had to leave, forcing us to drastically alter level design and enemy placement at the last minute just to make it playable with the bug, needless to say we were heartbroken.
This is definitely a project we are going to go back and severely polish up in our own time, nearly all of the mechanics are there, but we ran out of time before we could really test and fine tune the levels, but all in all, we are very proud of what we managed to accomplish in a scant two hours time with near zero experience.
I cannot verify if the OS/X or Linux builds will work
If at any point you become stuck, hitting ENTER will reset you to your last checkpoint
Hitting ESC while in gameplay will return you to the Title Screen
Arrow Keys, Left Stick, or D-Pad to Move
Space or (A) to Jump
Shift, LB, or (X) to Boost
D, RB, or (B) to Attack
