• You can collect acorns (Arrow keys or A/D to move)

• You can exchange acorns for hats

• Why do you need more hats?

• You can stop any time you like.

Programming by @allthebees, art and music by @m11, idea and writing by both. The art was created by physically doing a bit of lino printing, scanning the textures, and then creating a collage in photoshop. The sprites were drawn by hand with pencil and paper, before scanning, and going over in photoshop, reducing it to three colours (black, 50%grey, white) to stand out against the noisy backgrounds. The music was made by running a three chord sequence through an arpeggiator, playing a simple bassline over the top, and then distorting everything with filters/reverb/a pitch shift. Super simple, but the first time m11 has supplied music in a jam situation.

Art and audio are super good, thank you for sharing how you made them! I hope I can steal the hat Mr. Badger is wearing. All hats shall be mine.
