~2.4 hours of creating a game related to this made up word I rolled up. The word itself isn't all that great, though the definition is ZZTable enough.

Not super happy with this one, I had a hard time putting it all together, taking a long time to come up with what I feel like is a unique enough concept for a ZZT game (you can't shoot vertically), but then not having the time to actually figure out how to design entertaining/challenging boards revolving around the concept.

That's without even getting into the issues of a stream timer I threw together breaking and the game itself having some severe bugs that couldn't be fixed due to a lack of time.

They can't all be winners I suppose. Still, it was fun to participate, and I'm looking forward to everyone else's games, especially since a number of folks on the Discord also ran out of time as well.
