It was really fun making this game and we hope you like it! Though the controls isn't what we would like them to be we plan on fixing that later to come but didn't have time to do it during the jam. We also had 6 other levels drawn out but felt, and were correct, that we wouldn't have enough time to make them and work on some other core features of the game. We do hope to add these new levels later on in the future and just make this game a lot better in general because we really enjoy it.\r\n\r\nThe way this fits into the theme is that you only have one chance (in that playthrough) to get your score on a level. Once you finish the level (by stepping on the flag block) that score is locked in. You also only have one chance to pick up the sticks, if you die and they're destroyed you can't get those back which will hurt your score. \r\n\r\nFor the Widows version I recommend you play it in windowed mode and with the resolution either at 1152X648 or higher. If you can't do that just play the web version.","title":"Pick Up Sticks"}
