Her only goal - survive the internet...


 We hear it all the time, people are chronically online these days. If you manage to get off your phone, it's most likely because you're changing over to using a PC or a tablet instead. From one screen to another, we just drone on, especially with social media. 

 If you're a content creator you get caught up in comments, likes, and reposts. Public opinion shouldn't matter that much, especially when we're all just specks of dust on a rock hurdling through space.


If she can just make it far enough...

 Amber is like us. She's chronically online, she's prone to being big-headed when her ego gets *inflated*, and super sensitive to mean comments and harsh criticism online.

 She's also like us in the sense that she's learned how to protect herself. Sometimes you have to just take it slow for a second, ya know?

 Inspired by the album "Petals For Armor" by Hayley Williams, Amber can wrap herself in petals to protect her psyche from the perils of social media. Self-care keeps us going.

No tutorial, just the controls, good luck, and don't give up.

Love it! Took me two tries to realise that too much validation is actually also quite bad - which is genius. The music is fire and the overall style is amazing. The gameplay is also fun and doesn't overstay it's welcome, reminds me a bit of Audiosurf with nice music like that to go along with it.

Really great, good job, all of you!
