Beeing a DarkBasic kid around 10+ years ago, i used the candy jam as reason for finally playing around with AppGameKit for the first time.
The shonky result after abusing last sunday is

This is intended to be played with a controller - i used my xbox360 controller... because of the key mapping wasd + space is working as well but really...you want to play this with a controller.
I developed native on mac and ported to windows afterwards...with some minor flaws this was an really easy, fast paced and rather awesome experience...
