--PONY 9000--

My first game ever! Made with the help of @Krystman and the Lazy Devs tutorials/Discord and huge amounts of help from @Thego124
ALSO!!
Got some more feedback, and implemented a new RAGE SYSTEM!! I know this makes the game a little easier, but I'm still planning on creating a "hard mode" that even the finest of mushmen would struggle (at least a teensy bit) with!

CHANGELOG:

RECOMMENDED PLAY ON MOBILE OR WITH CUSTOM CONTROLS.

Idk, I built it using WASD and J&K, but maybe y'all are used to the arrow keys by now. If you're playing on the BBS on desktop, might I suggest crossing your arms (that's how I do it lol).

Feedback welcome, I'm currently working on a Special Edition that includes Speako8 voice synthesis, which will likely have to be posted on itch.io when I get it integrated.

UPCOMING FEATURES:

V.2.0 (SPECIAL EDITION):

Speako8 voice integration via multicart (v.0.9.2 is already almost maxed out)
Difficulty Settings
High Scores
Other features you ask for
