About We Must Go Back!
My first game ever in a JAM and also my first experience at js13kgames. I really want to improve this alot, making an entire game inside 13KB is an awesome challenge and a though one too. I want to thank Jom to make the music loop and also apologize to my incompetence to transform the MIDI into something that would be played in the game.
