Install Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------

The game is a .pdx build, which is for the playdate.
But bear with me, it's possible to play it on desktop as well!
( Playdate games need some BossRush Love as well and technically a game which runs in the browser is running in a different app too ;) )

1. Download and install the Playdate Simulator: https://play.date/dev/
2. Download the game build and unzip it
3. Open the PlaydateSimulator it's in the install location of the PlaydateSDK/bin/PlaydateSimulator
4. Click on the Menu File->Open-> select the DueOfShadows.pdx build

(There is cross-platform porting in the works, but not "stable" yet: https://github.com/GamesRightMeow/playbit )

Do you have a Playdate?
