Music, Sound Effects, and Sprites
Kenney Game Studio
The majority of the sprites came from Kenney's free game assets. Some of the main sprites have been created by Ashley H. from a combination of these free assets, a few assets were recolored, and a couple were created by hand in Photoshop. Some of these sprites were also used to create the game instructions and the win/lose scenes.
