My first game jam :D
There are some things I would have liked to change but I am satisfied with the final product.
I decided to make a simple game where you delay being crushed by a press.
(yes the game has nothing to do with politics, despite the title)
- W/Up Arrow to jump, and S/Down arrow to go underground
- Space Bar to dash if you have energy
XBOX controls implemented, but not tested
- Dig underground to collect energy in the form of squares
- Use your energy to dash while over land and delay the press
- If the press touches the ground or crushes you, it's game over!
### Changelog
- 4/4/2022
- Fixed bug where music didn't play
- Fixed typo in tutorial/title
- 4/7/2022
- Fixed bug where player could stay still and abuse energy spawning mechanics
- Fixed bug where music (still) wouldn't play and other music layering bug

"Certain Bug Fixes are allowed. You can’t add new features, but if something broke or didn’t work correctly as you were finishing up, you can fix this after the deadline. You are asked to highlight the changes you make in your submission (a short change log). You probably wont get a 2nd chance with some players, but at least it wont be a problem for future players."*
