xr57p (Development)

This game started as a prototype made for the "Eggjam 19" eggplant game jam.  You can play the original jam submission here. 

This page is for the ongoing development of the "full" game, although what that will look like is still to be determined.  We post new builds here whenever any significant progress is made.  Follow along to playtest and help shape development.
