Your ideas are often very much \"out of the box\" :smile: I like how you have a commented version of your game. Did you make that first, and then condensed it into the tweet-sized code? \n\nOne thing I could not really figure out is why the game would start with 198 points for the score. I see why the code does it, I just don't get the choise :-)\n\nEdit: btw: your cover image is missing at the moment.

Added, thanks!\n\nThe reason the score starts at a random number is because I was reusing an existing variable to make the score, and it would take more characters to make that start at 0 :) I potentially could've got rid of the #LDJam hashtag I suppose :P\n\nI started writing the game in JavaScript, as I would write it with if statements and regular functions and such, and then started making it smaller and cutting features. The game used to be on a circle, and whenever you landed more obstacles appeared, but those all took too many characters to fit. As I worked on it, I had a version that was not quite as split up as the commented version is, but it had newlines and indents to make things more readable.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld54\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jezzamonn\/status\/1708604618463437077","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/editor.p5js.org\/jezzamon\/sketches\/-F314Rfwv","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"92351","g_author":"1000095","g_event":"LD54","g_eventkey":"117","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"436863","g_title":"geom
