In celebration of LD48 I decided to try something different. This is a game made in Roblox Studio. Play here!

FAQ
=====
Q: ROBLOX????
A: You betcha
---
Q: WHY?????
A: I'm an experienced gamedev in Unity, Haxeflixel, Gamemaker, etc., so I decided to try something new.
Q: BUT IT'S FOR BABIES!!!
A: Actually it's a lot harder than I expected. There's no drag-and-drop code editor or anything of the sort; it's straight up Lua and a text editor and software that looks like a crappier version of Unity. And because every game is massively online multiplayer by default, there's a lot of funky server stuff that would otherwise be super simple to do in a single player engine. And the documentation is pretty garbage.

Q: OK HOW DO I ACTUALLY PLAY ROBLOX, I'M OLD
A: Girl, I gotchu. I'm in my 30s, so, basically a senior citizen when it comes to Roblox. If you're on a computer, you're gonna wanna go to roblox.com and make an account, then download the game client. It only takes a minute. Then, visit my game URL. It'll launch the game from the browser. You can also download the Roblox app on tablet or mobile and play it there!
Q: DID YOU MAKE THE AUDIO?
A: No. This is a limitation of the platform. All audio has to go through a manual moderation system, which takes time and *real money*, so I used free stuff from the Roblox asset store and I have opted out of being rated on Audio.
KEYBOARD CONTROLS
Move: WASD or arrow keys
