And you can't stop them!\n\n\n--------\nOur Team: We are Andzura, Heo, Saltysa and Scratch. So it's the same team as last time, except now we have a name: Iommi Iommi Pro Skater Studio! It's named after our cat, and yeah he does skatebording, cool huh? \n\nWe shared all the work on the Game Design front without clear distinctions, and:\n  - Saltysa did all the visuals and barelly complained\n  - Andzura did a lot of programming and a lot of coffee\n  - Heo saved us all with her Git alchemy and practiced her algorithmic sorcery\n  - Scratch cooked, broke his guitar strings, and pretended to be as good a programmer as the others\n  - Iommi slept during the day and kept us awake during the night. He also mastered the Double Tre Flip\n\nThanks for playing our game!","title":"The difficult life of a newborn planet","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/272001+272002+272003+272004+272005+272006+272007+272008+272009+272010+272011+272012+272013+272014+272015+272016+272017+272018+272019+272020+272021+272022+272023+272024+272025+272026+272027+272028+272029+272030+272031+272032+272033+272034+272035+272036+272037+272038+272039+272040+272041+272042+272043+272044+272045+272046+272047+272048+272049+272050+272051+272052+272053+272054+272055+272056+272057+272058+272059+272060+272061+272062+272063+272064+272065+272066+272067+272068+272069+272070+272071+272072+272073+272074+272075+272076+272077+272078+272079+272080+272081+272082+272083+272084+272085+272086+272087+272088+272089+272090+272091+272092+272093+272094+272095+272096+272097+272098+272099+272100+272101+272102+272103+272104+272105+272106+272107+272108+272109+272110+272111+272112+272113+272114+272115+272116+272117+272118+272119+272120+272121+272122+272123+272124+272125+272126+272127+272128+272129+272130+272131+272132+272133+272134+272135+272136+272137+272138+272139+272140+272141+272142+272143+272144+272145+272146+272147+272148+272149+272150+272151+272152+272153+272154+272155+272156+272157+272158+272159+272160+272161+272162+272163+272164+272165+272166+272167+272168+272169+272170+272171+272172+272173+272174+272175+272176+272177+272178+272179+272180+272181+272182+272183+272184+272185+272186+272187+272188+272189+272190+272191+272192+272193+272194+272195+272196+272197+272198+272199+272200+272201+272202+272203+272204+272205+272206+272207+272208+272209+272210+272211+272212+272213+272214+272215+272216+272217+272218+272219+272220+272221+272222+272223+272224+272225+272226+272227+272228+272229+272230+272231+272232+272233+272234+272235+272236+272237+272238+272239+272240+272241+272242+272243+272244+272245+272246+272247+272248+272249+272250+272251+272252+272253+272254+272255+272256+272257+272258+272259+272260+272261+272262+272263+272264+272265+272266+272267+272268+272269+272270+272271+272272+272273+272274+272275+272276+272277+272278+272279+272280+272281+272282+272283+272284+272285+272286+272287+272288+272289+272290+272291+272292+272293+272294+272295+272296+272297+272298+272299+272300+272301+272302+272303+272304+272305+272306+272307+272308+272309+272310+272311+272312+272313+272314+272315+272316+272317+272318+272319+272320+272321+272322+272323+272324+272325+272326+272327+272328+272329+272330+272331+272332+272333+272334+272335+272336+272337+272338+272339+272340+272341+272342+272343+272344+272345+272346+272347+272348+272349+272350+272351+272352+272353+272354+272355+272356+272357+272358+272359+272360+272361+272362+272363+272364+272365+272366+272367+272368+272369+272370+272371+272372+272373+272374+272375+272376+272377+272378+272379+272380+272381+272382+272383+272384+272385+272386+272387+272388+272389+272390+272391+272392+272393+272394+272395+272396+272397+272398+272399+272400+272401+272402+272403+272404+272405+272406+272407+272408+272409+272410+272411+272412+272413+272414+272415+272416+272417+272418+272419+272420+272421+272422+272423+272424+272425+272426+272427+272428+272429+272430+272431+272432+272433+272434+272435+272436+272437+272438+272439+272440+272441+272442+272443+272444+272445+272446+272447+272448+272449+272450+272451+272452+272453+272454+272455+272456+272457+272458+272459+272460+272461+272462+272463+272464+272465+272466+272467+272468+272469+272470+272471+272472+272473+272474+272475+272476+272477+272478+272479+272480+272481+272482+272483+272484+272485+272486+272487+272488+272489+272490+272491+272492+272493+272494+272495+272496+272497+272498+272499+272500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/31\/31855759e89ae8bf3de27ee91b5903b178526a286cf82da904689c87a4130e2f","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/9d72d463ff3982268eb2326d8cde8ec08f694fc66e2f92c2fc1001b4ffca8426.json","sha256":"31855759e89ae8bf3de27ee91b5903b178526a286cf82da904689c87a4130e2f","source":"https","stored_at":1784022369}}
