The core of this game was written on a BoltBus from Portland to Seattle last fall, and I've been tinkering with it ever since. Time to call it done - especially since I've got another bus trip coming up soon! 🤔
This is also the first time I've tried my hand at a boss fight. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
