I really appreciate that this is a 2-weekend affair because I have literally no time this weekend to work on anything. So with that in mind, I've finished things up and submitted my game!

I wish I had more time to polish and dig into the handful of bugs I know about, But I'm super proud of the beautiful garbage that is my first game!
Shout-out to gamedev.tv for hosting and keeping me motivated with the free course dangling in front of my face!
