Thanks! I made the music myself and the rain is from the wonderful BBC sound archives: https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/
Wow, #2 is remarkable. I can't do that well, and I wrote the game!
The scrolling speed increases the longer you play, so you need to be quicker with your movement. It's harder to stay in the shadows.
My original plan was for a series of "biomes" and maybe a "final boss", but I didn't get to that in just a week.

Thank you! I stole this colour scheme from my very first computer, an amber monochrome monitor.

Wow, that's a great score! My players are getting better - I can't even crack the top 10 anymore.

Thanks! I played that level ages ago and forgot all about it. It must have been hiding in my brain as I made this game.
From a technical standpoint, I used SilentWolf https://silentwolf.com/features for the leaderboard system. It was easy to implement!
I was worried about letting players enter their names, so I keep the leaderboard anonymous. You learn your ranking, but don't see any names.

Thanks! It's probably not the best strategy, but I always take an "art first" approach to these jams. I need to know how it will look before I work on the mechanics. This one was inspired by my first ever computer, an amber and black monochrome 286.
