Inspired by the true-life events of my good friend Ryan. My first game ever; I am not a programmer and taught myself what I could of PICO-8, making this whole thing up as I went along, so I'm sure the code is very inefficient and a mess, sorry! It's a simple game and is mostly a lifetime of inside jokes, but to the general public: I hope you enjoy it anyway!
