I made this game last year after my first year as a parent. Its also my first ever game and the most fun bits for me were learning how to make the music and sprites. I had no prior experience with either but with tic80 you just kinda open the tab and do it.

If you’re like me, you probably love spending the holidays doing advent of code or something. Maybe write a game this year :)
