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
Make a downloadable version
