Tziomara Ximenez is all set to publish her latest poetry anthology, "Growing Up Xicana: Hymns from an Old New World." Unfortunately, she isn't quite cognizant of the fact that she's little more than the obedient puppet of the thirteen gremlins that live inside her computer keyboard and maneuver her towards semi-stardom as a pawn in their nefarious schemes.

The version of the game uploaded here was made over the past forty eight hours; unfortunately, for the first time in two years, I'm going to be busy Monday evening and can't make submission hour. So I'm uploading the game prematurely in hopes of entry. There are a couple known bugs; most notably, I accidentally muted all the game's audio. I'm going to reupload tomorrow with the fixed file.

UPDATE: FINALLY!!! Updated with audio, which didn't export with the game because I am incompetent. If you're super picky about this just leave the audio option blank; the game's functionally completely identical. Wait, I made one change-- now you get five typos and five hits before you die. The game was really hard otherwise apparently.
