Original plan included levels and...yeah, well, y'all know what happened to that, right? Took me until Saturday after midnight (um, guess that means Sunday) to get the basic mechanic of showing which socks you'd collected to work. Didn't leave any time for all those other ideas.

Why didn't we figure this out years ago??\r\n\r\nThis game is HTML5 based and can be played with a PC mouse, with a touch screen, or with keyboard \"A\" and \"D\" for the serious. It should work on mobile.\r\n\r\nYou WIN if you collect 100 pairs of socks, but the game allows you to keep going if you are challenging a friend. (Infinite collector, I suppose.)\r\n\r\n\"High Score\" is only kept for the session, so if you actually get a \"double dog dare\" you'll need to take a screenshot to show your friends. There are badges up to 100 that will show up in your screenshot if you make it that far, so you can prove you did it. (Badges are not shown in the screenshots below for exactly that reason.)\r\n\r\nSome things I learned along the way:\r\n* Warm-up weekend would have been a great idea :\\\r\n* Art may or may not be my strong suit :\\\r\n* Leave more time for player testing!","title":"Martian Sock Challenge"}
