FOREWORD / INSTRUCTIONS

HeroSquare is a little mini-game thrown together in between getting distracted by everything under the sun. Probably more a proof of concept than a proper game.
It's simplistic and silly, but at least it got done, right?
Maybe it'll get an independent continuation, we'll see.

The game is internally rendered at 64x64, as per jam rules; The window is locked to 3x upscale for visibility(and because unity won't let me make it any smaller without freaking out and breaking things).

Arrows or WASD to go that way if possible, or prepare a turn if not.
Z will stop in place. Not much to say there.
Space will charge in the current direction. You can't stop or turn while charging.
More detailed instructions are in the zip if you need them.

ACTUALLY READABLE CREDITS

Most of the assets in this project were made from scratch by FatCatFromBeyondSpace.
The fonts were by Kenney over at OpenGameArt - his work is all CC0/public domain, so safe enough.
Sound effects were all made using Chiptone (https://sfbgames.itch.io/chiptone) - Also CC0.

Install instructions

Windows only, but the game should be functional straight out of the zip file, just open it, launch the EXE and watch it go.
