Good job, Tim.

if anyone can't launch because of missing DL, you can get it here: https://openal.org/downloads/

As a fallguys fan, I actually enjoyed this! Took me 4 minutes to complete! I tile puzzle was satisfying! Due the camera being fixed, I almost quit the game without exploring the second half of your level - but glad I found it. Love how you build this in your own engine too.

Hey Dan, the camera was meant to capture the mouse but as a work around you can use MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON and drag the mouse. Not ideal but can be a big help to at least turn around in the final section. Thank you for remembering the OpenAL link.

It is really easy once you found Tim's secret high jump feature.

Not a lot of connection to any of the theme… yes, there are ships, but they might as well have been trucks and the game wouldn't have been different. Also maybe a little bit of chaos in the disappearing tiles?

Anyway, I understand it's more of a tech demo than a game, and I can say that the tech worked just fine :)
