given by alot of games here, I’m guessing “cursed” is just hard gameplay?

well also that, but yes. for example, having pacman move but: directions[n%4] is basically the movement, where each controller button is a weird math thing? like left doing n=n\*3-2 or B doing n=~n ? Im only asking because i hate to realize that my game doesnt fit when theres like 2 days left

Ok but it’s straight up virtually impossible because you would need to guess the exact locations of 5 unknown bombs and just magically not click on them!

Not polished.

Randomized speed changing every 100ms - 5000ms.

Reversing direction every 100ms - 5000ms.

By the end, you might be scared to even move in this game.

But just remember, this is totally normal and my submission.
