TL;DR Instructions:
=============
* You control two separate players -- press Tab to change between them.
* Get Coins from UnderWorld.
* Buy Food in OverWorld.
* Use Shared Portal to transfer items.
* Left click: Eat, Right Click: Throw, 1-5 select item.
Instructions
============
You and a friend have found yourself in a predicament.
You are both hungry, and need to buy food.
However, one person has all the shops, and one person has all the coins.
You must share items using the portal to survive.
Running Issues
==========
If Windows8 is giving you a "Windows Protected Your PC" message,
click "More info" then "Run Anyway".
If MACOSX gives you an "Untrusted Developer" warning, Control-RightClick the app, and choose Open, then click Open.
If Linux complains about missing libraries, just run this (for Ubuntu 14.04)
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0 libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 libfreetype6
Regrets
=======
Yeah, I ran out of time.
I was planning to have weapons, and some sort of zombie wave / tower defence on the overworld, using metal ores mined in the underworld.
But yeah... No time :( There's always next Ludum Dare.
Patch 1
=======
Small patch fixing some bugs:
* Coins now respawn on the underworld when picked up
* Adjusted value of Potato Salad (was too expensive per food than the others)
* Food gives you health (equal to its food value). Can't believe I missed that.
And fixing some minor issues:
* Adjusted starting hunger values (More time to get used to the game)
* Changed text on shop/portal to make it more obvious what to do
* Added pickup text (Shows name of the item when picked up)
* Increased font size for Health/Hunger
