This game features a number of debug options allowing you to alter the way the game works. Please feel free to play around with it and offer feedback, either here or by email: thealanjackexperience@googlemail.com

Originally intended to be somewhere between a "Musical Toy" and a puzzle game, this was designed and built for 3rd year coursework, this game is probably my most adventurous development to date. Alas, it fell a little short of that lofty design goal, but it was a learning experience.

Still planning on adding more to it, I am more than a little disappointed with how little fun the game is, but am proud that it at least turned out stable and relatively polished.

Please provide feedback if you play, it'll help me with later iterations!

I'll post a Beta postmortem at a later date.
