Cross the desert to sell your goods at the orient markets. But beware, the sandstorm will blind your horse and make you drop your spices.

Game made in 48 hours for GMTK Jam 2020. Everything but the music was made by me. Check out the credits page (I) for info about this great song I've used.

Yes, that's an endless runner, but wait. There's an update coming.

The art's great, but I feel like the game design critically missed its mark. The core concept of blocking keys out (instead of shuffling, modifying or removing them but with a chance to recover) is just not that interesting, and the entire experience was honestly a bit generic.

Yeah, it's easy to miss things in such a short deadline, doing code, art, sound, dealing with bugs. But that's what game jams are about. Making mistakes and learning from them! :)

Yeah! In the end, we're all part of the same journey. Your positive attitude is really inspiring.
