Trying out some new ideas with I think mixed results. The game has an ending and is beatable, but there is not much guidance in terms of getting there. I think the level design could be changed quite a bit in order to lead players to where they need to go, but I kind of enjoy it being open and inhospitable.  I might go back and tweak or entirely rework. 

Some of the ideas going into this project came from: https://matthewlacker.itch.io/adventure-manifesto

As it is the game is fairly difficult, but becomes a lot easier if you use/abuse certain mechanics. I think this is a case where certain optimal strategies are a little less "fun".

Unfortunately the web version has some delay on sound effects, but there is not a ton I can do about that.
