We tried to focus on the feel of the world and the ambience to make it seem like a nice place to wander around.\r\n\r\nThe game focuses on exploration, with some platforming and light puzzle elements.\r\n\r\nNoteable influences:\r\nProteus, Fez, Melodisle, Zelda (Wind Waker) and Final Fantasy.\r\n\r\nCode + art: Mark Foster (@ClawhammerMark)\r\nAudio Effects and Music: David Fenn (@autotwitch)\r\n\r\nThis was the most fun I've had jamming, even though I was quite ill throughout.
