Down To The Wire! A Heart Pound First Game Jam.

Cinnamon & Bean In The Unfriendly Forest
A browser game made in HTML5

Oh my hecking goodness. As of this writing there is 42 minutes left before the end of the GB Showdown '23 game jam. I had to work today. In the middle of my workday, I started getting messages from my teammates saying that they were getting soft-locked because one of the game's core mechanics was fundamentally glitchy as frick. I get off work only TWO HOURS before the game jam's deadline, race home (thanks for the ride Beth), and immediately start trying to fix it before my heart explodes from a week of accumulated sleepless nights and Monster Energy drinks.

This is why Q.A. is important! The glitch wouldn't show up for me because of the confident way I played because I knew the levels extremely well. I would have published this and been at the bottom of the rankings because the game would have been unplayable. No role in game development is less important than any other.

Anyway have fun with the cute bunnies! I'm going to go sleep for like ten days.
