You can download it from the official site at [love2d.org](https:\/\/love2d.org\/).\n\n### Setup Instructions\n\n1. **Clone the Repository or Download ZIP**\n   Clone the repository or [download the ZIP](https:\/\/github.com\/lloydlobo\/tinycreatures\/archive\/refs\/heads\/main.zip) file containing the game source code.\n\n2. **Ensure L\u00d6VE is Installed**\n   If you don't already have L\u00d6VE installed, you can download and install it from [love2d.org](https:\/\/love2d.org\/) or install it via Homebrew by running:\n\n   ```bash\n   brew install love\n   ```\n\n### Running the Game\n\nYou have two options to run the game:\n\n1. **Using the Terminal:**\n\n   - Open a terminal window.\n   - Navigate to the project directory where the game files (including `main.lua` and `conf.lua`) are located:\n\n     ```bash\n     cd \/path\/to\/project-directory\n     ```\n\n   - Run the game with:\n\n     ```bash\n     love .\n     ```\n\n   Alternatively, if you have a `.love` file (e.g., `tinybloodcells.love`), you can run:\n\n   ```bash\n   love \/path\/to\/tinybloodcells.love\n   ```\n\n2. **Drag and Drop:**\n   - Drag the project folder or the `.love` file onto the L\u00d6VE executable. This will automatically launch the game.\n\n### Web Build Option\n\n> If you're looking for a way to play the game in a browser, L\u00d6VE doesn't natively support web\n> builds. However, you can convert your game using **love.js**, which allows L\u00d6VE games to run in\n> browsers. Check with the developer if there's an existing web version of the game or use love.js to\n> export it yourself.\n\n![Screenshot from 2024-10-08 00-16-24.png](\/\/\/raw\/c88\/26\/z\/6676e.png)\n\n## Game Controls\n\n- **Arrow Keys\/WASD**: Move the player entity.\n- **Spacebar**: Fire projectiles.\n- **X**: Dash forward.\n- **Shift (Left\/Right)**: Enhance attributes and increase turning speed.\n- **Escape**: ~~Pause~~ or ~~exit~~ force quit.\n- **Q**: Force quit.\n- **N**: Next level.\n- **P**: Previous level.\n- **R**: Reset current level.\n- **H**: Toggle debug HUD.\n\n---\n\n## Credits\n\n### Testers\n\n- **Seon**\n\n### Resources\n\nGrateful to the following creators for their amazing sound and music contributions:\n\n- Lupus Nocte: \n  - [Epidemic Sound link](http:\/\/link.epidemicsound.com\/LUPUS) \n  - `[YouTube](https:\/\/youtu.be\/NwyDMDlZrMg?si=oaFxm0LHqGCiUGEC)`\n\n- DASK: Retro sounds \n  - [itch.io](https:\/\/dagurasusk.itch.io\/retrosounds)\n\n\n### Special thanks\n\n- Twitch Streamer [Tkap1](https:\/\/m.twitch.tv\/tkap1\/home) aka **Javier Palacios** for gifting a last minute invite code!!!\n- This game was based on a starter template ported from an excellent breakdown of *Asteroids* at [berbasoft.com](https:\/\/berbasoft.com\/simplegametutorials\/love\/asteroids\/).\n\n## License\n\nThis project is open source under the MIT License.
