Ok now I'm intrigued; where might I find the a bit of the lore in the game? or is it more a thing you're developing outside the game but the game references it? Neat idea either way, and I'm guessing the introduction of player 2 and the ominous ending has something to do with it.

Great game. I liked how your time does not last forever and makes you feel rushed. I would change the game to have some more detailed sprites. Great game!
