This game was made for a game jam hosted by the University of Essex Game Development Society, between 7/3/20-8/3/20.

The theme was 'it has to have a story' but also 'growth'

This game is about defending the Ron Paul presidential campaign headquarters (aka reddit in 2012) from all the downronners and such whilst letting the upronners upron all of your epic posts and such, using your trusty BraveryStick.

Yes, you need a mouse and also java to play this game, no it does not support fullscreen, and yes, I know, this game sucks.

Source code is hosted here: https://github.com/11BelowStudio/UpronSimulator2012

CONTROLS

• Move your mouse to swing your BraveryStick (So Brave!)
  • Stop the downrons (blue arrows) from getting to you
  • Let the uprons (orange arrows) get to you
  • Survive for as long as possible
