why no html build?
I didn’t manage to upload a html build in time and unfortunately uploads are locked until the end of the jam’s rating period.
I will get one up asap for people to try without having to download the rom themselves.
Is there a way to back out of scenes? I went to inspect the painting and now I can't seem to get back to the main room
oh I hadn’t noticed that while testing! You can search the corners of the painting that will lead you back out to the main room.
Thanks for playing! And thanks for bringing that to my attention, everything should be a lot smoother when I can update and finish the game.
Oooo, excellent, that let me escape! Thanks for the tip =D I'm excited to see the full game
Oh Man!! I gotta play this!! Awesome!
Yo! it's still a work in progress but I think I have things working mostly right haha
any feedback would be great!
