Echoes of Ouroboros is a 2D puzzle game. Play as a thief who must finish a job... under *loopy* circumstances!
* Game written from scratch in Haskell (with `gloss`) & developed on NixOS
* Original art made in Clip Studio Paint
Please enjoy our first ever submission to a game jam!

If it fails with something like `No such file or directory`, then it's an issue with how we packaged it w.r.t `libc`.
In that case, we recommend building from source. The easiest way is to use the Nix package manager and clone the source. In `ludum-dare/47-stuck-in-a-loop`, just `nix-build` and then run `./result/EchoesOfOuroboros`.
You can also try installing Haskell tooling (`ghc` and `cabal`) and build from source that way. `ghcup` is probably the easiest way. You can then run `USE_PWD_ASSETS=1 cabal v2-run` in the `ludum-dare/47-stuck-in-a-loop` subdirectory.
The game now has a few Post-Jam updates:
* Background Music
* Rebalanced puzzles
* Falling animation
* Rewind animation
* Better asset discovery
