Didn't have enough time to do more, to be honest (and my head is going to explode).\r\n\r\nI'm not very proud of the result, as it's lacking gameplay-wise, but at least I didn't give up, which is good enough this time.\r\n\r\nEnjoy?\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\nZ,X,C : CHANGE FACE\r\nGOAL : MATCH DAD'S FACE\r\n\r\n","title":"Galactic Bonding"}
