Credits

While I made this game on my own, I couldn't have done it without the help of @ZhennaPerks for their constant great feedback and suggestions when things weren't working right (and also keeping me fed while I jam). I also had excellent playtesting help from @DrSnowDude and @Rhoka along the way to help me find some nasty bugs and get the gameplay feel right.

This was my first ever LD not using Unity and it was definitely challenging, but Bevy is quickly turning into an awesome engine and made a lot of this very simple. Some things are difficult for my unity-trained brain to wrap my head around (like state transitions which is why there is no menu sorry).
