Install instructions

This game was orinally launched in 2021, but only now I'm putting it here on itch.io. It was made with Game Maker 8.1, so it may have incompatibility problems in some more recent versions of Windows (although it seems to work just fine in WIndows 11).

You may be asked to install Direct Play or some Windows C# Resdistributable Packages after launching for the first time, but otherwise just double click the executable and  you're ready to go!

*Joystick support may work, but its not guaranteed.
