I'm tentatively calling this "Paper Survivors", which is in reference to the hit indie game Vampire Survivors.

The idea is that you play as a drawing, fighting against other drawings in a waste bin of an artist who never seems happy with their work. This ties into waste in a pretty literal way, as the setting is effectively a waste basket. Don't think too much about what it's supposed to mean when the non-player-avatars are thrown into the trash lol.

Use WASD to move

Use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out

Select upgrades and do general menuing with the mouse.

Increase the size of the game in your browser by zooming in on the page (ctrl + mouse wheel up when not mousing-over the game window) or clicking the full screen button at the bottom right. I'll do my best to improve this in future updates.

Pause by clicking the pause button at the top left, or pressing tab

You can open the developer menu by pressing `, the button to the left of the 1 on your keyboard. If you cheat, you're only cheating yourself.

Play the original art jam version here.
