Once the Red Border is pushed out fully so that it surrounds the \"Entire Game in One Screen\", the Green Exit activates and you can jump into it to complete the level.\r\n\r\n\"How To Play\" instructions are in the game, or see the 2nd screenshot.\r\n\r\nWell, its my first time participating in LD. Was fun. Pretty happy with the result considering I was hungover on Sunday :D\r\n\r\nArtwork: yeah its a bit meh. But I had fun with the mechanics, shooting arrows, rebounding or duplicating. Some nice little ideas I think that could be developed much further. \r\n\r\nSound Effects: I think I was channeling a little bit of that old Robotron game.
