Also skips the intro, but the intro is the best part of the game!\r\n\r\nSadly my sleeping pattern messed things up a lot and so this is largely unfinished. :\/ There's not much gameplay, no audio, and the code is somehow worse than anything I've ever done before. All things considered though, I'm pretty happy with what I've done - especially as far as presentation goes, which is usually my weak point - and I've got (and been given) a variety of ideas for turning it into what could be a pretty enjoyable game, so I may be developing this further for the Jam or later.<\/p>","title":"Fishing vs Aliens"}
