Extra Notes
This is the first game I can say I saw through to "completion" and am extremely glad I decided to join the GameJam.
I've learned more about making games in those 2 weeks than I did in the last 2 months and it gave me a lot of confidence going forward.

I even managed to rope in a friend who helped me immensly with the game's design, direction, mechanics and testing.
