Great little game! Very difficult, haha. The music and the art is very sweet, and the news reel at the bottom is great for the "raising awareness"-factor.

Glad you like it!

I loved it, but I don't survive for long, I died several times hahaha

Nice! I love these small fantasy console games haha

Just purchased picoCAD and came across this awesome game!

It's designed in a really simple and elegant way while appealing to practical problems.

I loved this! I wonder if I can probably make a small game console around it. tbh that will be years in the future when I don't have to worry about my grades lol
