Recieved the Best Use of Theme Award at Austin Global Game Jam 2020.

Created in 48 hours for Austin Global Game Jam 2020.

It was my first game jam. Describe the stress of realizing our planned core mechanic wouldn't be completed on time and needed to be scrapped, after I'd spent six precious hours working on it. Describe how I realized that, realized it was best to give up, and instead of giving in to panic or despair developed an alternative mechanic that resulted in us still have a complete and playable game.
