### Controls:

+ Arrow Keys - Movement

+ Gamepad Supported!

### Hints:

+ You can reload to your last checkpoint by refreshing the page at any point

+ There are several upgrades hidden throughout the world - find them to make the game a bit easier

Thank you for playing!

## Build System/Code Organization

For this year's JS13k I decided to _not_ use Gulp/Webpack as I have done in former years.

Instead, I opted for writing my game in a single file (Heavily utilizing bookmarks), and 

running it through Google's Closure Compiler.

The exact compilation commands are in `compress.bat`. For image and zip size reduction I used

`optipng` and `advzip`. To zip the file, I used 7zip.

Makes heavy use of ES6 and up, since I'm assuming most of the target audience will have decently

up-to-date browsers that aren't Internet Explorer or Safari.
