long overdue and pointless update


so i've been messing with this little game from time to time over the past couple years since Game Boy Jam 8 ended.  it's largely the same game as the jam version, but with a lot of tiny tweaks to gameplay, sprites, sounds, and some extras added like pausing (P or space), mute (M), and resizing options ( [  ] bracket keys).  so mostly just a bit of polish.

unfortunately, there's a bug in the HTML5 version that makes the dash ability activate automatically once the meter is full.  i have no idea why this bug exists or how to fix it.  it does not exist in the Windows version so there must be an error in GameMaker 1.4's HTML5 exporter-- i'm too cheap to upgrade to GMS2 and i don't want to hear about it!  so the HTML5 version is playable, BUT... it's not the best experience.  it might be a little frustrating to play.  i recommend downloading the Windows version if you want to play the game as it is intended.

either way, i'm happy enough with this and i've had fun playing around with it for a while.  regretfully, it's still not the game that BunBytes envisioned during the jam, but... i think it's kind of fun.  i probably won't do any future updates, but who knows... maybe in a few more years.  hope you enjoy playing this simple and tiny game!
