Hello there,

It's my first game and my first LD. I made this (probably a game) with my friends, did lots of mistakes and had lots of fun in progress. I used not very appropriate technology for my game, I used CraftyJS for canvas stuff (learned in the process) and Semantic UI for UI. I think its much easier to use Unity, UE or any feature-rich editor not just a little js-lib. Anyway, what do we have here:

- Theme "The more you have, the worse it is"
- Game about NOT picking up bad habits
- Strange rock/metal music (checkout grindcore stuff in dying screen)
- Strange sprites and color scheme
- Strange embedding on itchio (my mistake)
- Strange spawn system
- And the last but not the least strange spaghetti code made by myself, you can check it out too.

- There are some bugs tho, probably will fix them and probably will fix the whole game (:

Click to Canvas to not scroll down/up with arrow keys. I'm too stressed to fix this for now.

You did a good job! The itch page looks very professional. Well done.

So, that was really fun. But I'm really sad from the fact that parallax and a lot of graphics have not been used.

I got 84 years. Its a nice game. It's a bit hard to judge if I am going to hit something sometimes.

For the very first game, you guys did pretty well! I really liked the Idea of "Aging" and "Going Through Time".

The music reminded my a whole lot of Battletoads, and it has the same feeling as going through the Turbo Tunnel.
