I started the PS1 JAM and only had 3 days to submit my game. I tried chatGPT to do all the scripts and it went wrong very fast!

So, I've created this small asset for Unity over the last weekend. Might be useful for game jam nerds like myself to track remaining jam time. Will publish soon on Unity Asset Store and GitHub.

My submission to the PS1 Game Jam!

You control the wind to move around a tumbleweed and extinguish dynamites before they detonate!

I started working on the game on the last 3 days, so I tried chatgpt to help me with the codes and it was awful! Debugging was a nigthmare! Never again!

No horses were armed during the making of this game! Now it's time to save them from the outlaws dynamiting the village!
