Entry for the Extra

Control a friendly xorn as you navigate your earthen home eating gems to survive!

Controls - WASD - movement

Collect gems before (inevitably?) getting defeated by greedy adventurers! Each gems fills a different stomach and each stomach grants special traits. When an adventurer catches you, you lose the contents of your stomach. If they catch you while you're starving, it's game over! There's also lava! Touching it will make you empty all your stomachs (even red!) and if you touch it while starving, it's also game over!

Blue gems - faster move speed
Green gems - gem sight
Red gems - Can take multiple hits first

Known Issues
- *~~Xorn will sometimes run in a direction upon startup and be unable to take input controls. Having difficulty reproducing. Might be a webGL thing.~~ Resolved in update v0.06.1*
- Gems will sometimes pop-in or not glow correctly while green stomach has contents
