Hey it's me again.
This game sucks, plain and simple, alright? It's straight up horrendous, abominable even. Play at your own peril.
A big reason for that is that it's been created using this ancient game engine called 3D Rad, which has a ton of limitations and quirks. Of course someone who knows what he's doing could make a decent game out of it, but this was one of the first games i've ever made and i had zero skills and self awareness.

If you really have to play a game of mine, pick something more recent, such as 30 Days to be the Best or Mariuccha, Alchemy Queen, which i think i already spammed. They also suck but they don't crash if you press Escape.
