How To Play
You must reach the end of the map and get in the boat before the time runs out.
Should you make contact with an enemy, you will be taken to the encounter screen where you will need to type the on screen message within the allotted time to win. If you fail to type the message in time or make too many typos, you will take damage and lose one HP
The enemies, items and encounter conditions are randomly generated at the start of each game; don't count on the same placements every time (minus a few that are guaranteed to be there!).
Collectable Items

Stopwatch: Adds an additional 20 seconds to the time limit

You did an outstanding job on this really nice looking game. I liked the theme being very funny and relevant to today. Hopefully you aren't around to many covidiots! This was frustratingly good and I tried my best to make to to the end but fail to complete the challenge. This is my death place almost everytime lol
Thanks! I know which spot that is, the platforming that follows is probably the trickiest in the game (jumping over the birds heading towards you from the bottom right and landing back on the platform). I fell to my death there several times during play tests too :’)
Nice game.
