DEV NOTES

- I was the lead designer on a team of 5 for this game. The development process was tricky because we had no artists, but I think we did okay with the resources available. My one big regret is that horrible noise that plays when Zegu catches you; I wanted it to be a violin sting and not that nasty staticky robot sound which is way too loud and abrasive. Oh well, live and learn...

- IIRC the world record for this game is something like a minute and 44 seconds, but it should be possible to cut it down more by abusing a trick where you stand on the walls as they lift up to reach higher ground. Good luck to any potential speedrunners.
