About the game

This was my kids first game and I gave them complete creative control just to see what they came up with.
I was very impressed with their creativity in art, music, and story. Rowen created all the art assets using
a Wacom draw tablet and my Son composed all the original music from sheet music using noteflight.com.

There was more that we wanted to add like the ability to move the character around with a walking animation
but we ran out of time. We'll definitely be creating a post jam version.

This was also my first time using Phaser 3 and I really loved the experience compared to Phaser 2.

All original soundtrack

All the music and sound effects are completely original and were composed by Elliott from scratch sheet music.
