Hi Otto,
there are some issues with how my game assets are being loaded when the game is hosted on itch.io.

So I removed the game files and updated the description with a playable link.
(no changes made to the code. just deployed it with some Nginx magic.)
The GitHub repo has working code in dev mode (last updated before I submitted the project here)
hope I don't get disqualified.
