So this game was difficult to play for two reasons.
First of all, Chrome considered it a virus, and then Window Defender considered it a virus, and then Windows Smartscreen considered it a virus. Either you need to find a way to make your games considered safe to execute, or I'm an idiot who just installed a virus on their computer ;-)
The second reason was that I didn't really understand the rules? You said that the tank can take a hit, but it died as soon as it did. I buffed up the tank so it had a bit more health, but there were no points for getting hit so it seemed pointless to do? It seems like the goal is to collect the green dots, but I wasn't sure, all I knew is that my score was dropping RAPIDLY into negative numbers, and I couldn't tell why.
I like the idea of two characters with different abilities who can revive each other, but I just didn't understand how to play. It needs better explaining, and needs to be safe to download too!

Thanks for the feedback!
1) You didn't get a virus. I've not build a C executable before so it likely needs some kind of signature I lack at the moment. Not sure if a web build will fix it, but definitely something I'll prioritize learning sooner than later.
2) Yeah, instructions fell into the "ran out of time for the jam" bucket. The tank should probably start with 2 health. Just so you know (this should ALSO go in instructions), you were losing points because the red dots were hitting the green ones. Points are gained by gathering the green dots, but I didn't give you any feedback to make that clear.
Really appreciate you taking the time to write this up! It's great to have some response to learn from.
