A short game made for the jam. Based on the theme "keep it alive" and the anxiety of stadium games.

Thanks to Increpare for creating the puzzlescript engine, and Dario Zubovic for the fork that I used.

Ok I must say, from all the games I have played in the jam so far, this one has amazed me with it's idea more than any one! I wish there were more levels!

This made me chuckle. It's extremely simple and basic, but I'm damn glad it exists and that I played it. Thank you for making it!

This was a great idea for the theme! I would have liked more puzzles. You definitely made feel that feeling of apprehension as the wave got closer, I didn't want to mess it up! I think I missed a few times but the game didn't seem to care. Maybe there's a lesson in that?

@snowycocoon Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
@javad-tab Thank you, that's very kind! I do want to return to it and make some more levels, I find those the hardest part of game development.
@brachistosauro Thank you for playing! I find myself enjoying the games that have found a novel interpretation of the theme, so I thought it important that I do that myself.
@reef Thanks! Yeah, I'd like to work out the potential of the mechanic more, and yes, there is a lesson in it!
