## What it is
A community-driven open source 2D platformer game built with Godot Engine, described as an 'open source collective hell game' where anyone can contribute art, music, mechanics, or code. It doubles as a beginner-friendly game development project that anyone can modify and extend.

## Use cases
- play a free open source 2d platformer in the browser
- contribute art or music to a collective game project
- learn godot game development by modifying an existing game
- practice game dev skills on a real project
- find a beginner-friendly open source game to fork
- collaborate with other developers on a shared game

## When to choose
- you want a fun example Godot project to learn from or remix
- you want to make your first open source contribution to a game
- you want a playable browser-based platformer

## When to avoid
- you need a production-quality polished commercial game
- you need a reusable game engine or library rather than a game
- you need a project with a standard permissive license (license is non-standard)
