lines crazy everyday this whole experience has been surreal to me on so many levels. i really appreciate everyone who came by ive always wanted to just make games that ppl enjoy. i hope that all the ppl who have something negative to say actually give the game a shot. if u hate it, thats fair, but at least give it a shot before jumping to ultimatums. thanks!
