NOTICE

This game is in early Alpha. There are only four missions to choose from.

The full release and further releases are planned to have 16 missions and support a custom mission editor.

Custom missions can be created as follows:

1. Head over to /assets/missions/templates.ron
2. Copy templates.ron and open it in any text editor
3. Edit the file contents to create your own missions, more details within templates.ron
4. Move .ron file back into /assets/missions
5. Ensure it is labelled as such "m[x]_[mission_name].ron" e.g "m05_my_mission.ron"
6. Load the game up and play!
   1. Music is currently hardcoded per mission ID so a OST track cannot be selected for custom missions.
