I had completely forgotten about this game I made for #GBJam 1 back in 2013 - can't believe someone played it! It's one of the few times I've done pixel art for one of my own games, which is super amusing to see a decade later 😄

After four years of working on Canvas Lord, my game tutorial engine, a full [jam] game has been made with it 🤯 Incredibly thankful to my housemates for being willing to use it for the jam, and to finally get an excuse to finish up a bunch of needed functionality & flexibility across the codebase
