Info

Entry for Jackie Codes Game Jam #2 with the "It Keeps Getting Bigger" theme.

This is our ode to the corporate software developer. It makes us smile, and we hope it makes you smile too.

This is the first team jam we have done together! It was an incredibly fun experience and we both learned a lot over the last week  6.66 days. We're happy with what we managed to do in the time frame. 

There's a million stretch goals we had that we didn't get around to, and endless tweaks and quality of life improvements that could be made. The balancing was also done on a 2AM voice call over the span of about 20 minutes, so... enjoy!
