Thanks and credit to:
- Chevy Ray & somepx for their pixel fonts 🔠
- Henry Software for the full-color pixel art the 2-bit card face art was based on 🃏
- adamgryu for his conference talk on low-poly/low-rez techniques in Unity 📺
- rogueNoodle for the 2-bit shader used to render the 3d elements as 4-color 👍
- Inkle for their narrative scripting language Ink 🦑

NOTE: Unfortunately the alpha web build previously hosted here on itch.io had ruinous web-build specific bugs that I don't have the bandwidth to spend further time on tracking down and fixing, so I've made the difficult decision to pull it for now. The mobile phone versions have always been the intended experience, and I'm planning to also make an Android version available if there is enough interest. Thank you!

jojojo the game hasn't even started yet but I'm already hyped because the intro music is so fire!
(I just reloaded the page 5 times just to watch the intro again and again, not sure if I can ever escape this intro)
hehe, thanks, in keeping with the childhood playground theme, i was doing a riff on "pop goes the weasel" with that music! :D
Ok I made it into the game! First of all, the dialogues are sooo well done, almost as good as the intro music, a little wierd but just the right amount to actually be funny!
And then... boom! It's a freaking 2D-Pixel-3d-World WHAT?
I have never seen anything like this and it's amazing!!!
Well then I started talking to Abbie and the rules pop up. And with that the music starts again!!! And now I don't have to reload the page because it is looped, yeah babyyy!!!!!!
