Notes

Admittedly, the level design has fallen behind. I have made 2 more levels shortly after the end of the jam and fixed up the already existing ones so that it's more fun. The "-updated" .zip files contain those levels.

The "oasis" part isn't very clear in this game. There were meant to be lush plans at the end of the level as well as the actual water that the main character seeks. The only thing left of that idea is the grassy tiles every level ends with.

The archives with the Windows executables were reuploaded because they were missing their .pck files.
