I sure wish some preacher would of told me. I sure wish some preacher would of ripped my hide off back when I was a teenager and explain the danger of what video games do to you.

But none of them ever did.

I hit ESC on accident moving something on my desk and everything just. stopped working :(

Looks like Esc is mapped to quit which is a hold over from the downloadable version!

Thanks for the feedback and for (trying) to play !! I'll patch it sometime later today 🙂

Edit : Fixed 🫡

As a trans guy who played videogames in order to become a real man, I feel lied to. I will begin fishing and hiking then. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

it was the match that lit the flame 🔥

where is the sss on kadabra? how can you even see sss in that pixel art?

If you squint with your left eye and rotate its sprite 666 degrees you’ll see the red sizzle lines on its stomach are definitely SSS

666 degrees is just 306 degrees

Glad you enjoyed playing it enough to risk your **eternal life** >=)

Immediately after I finished this, my wife informed me she wished I was the kind of man who would take her hiking.
