🕹️ About the Game

Message from the Dead is a 2D pixel art arcade game where you play as a ghostly mailman recently hired by Death himself. Tired of new souls complaining about the lack of warning, Death sends you to deliver final notices to the soon-to-die. The catch? You're under pressure.

🎮 Gameplay

• Zip around a dense city map using momentum-based, frictionless ghost physics.
• Deliver death notices to gain score and extend your timer.
• Run out of time and angry spirits spawn—get too many complaints and your shift ends.
• Master tight maneuvers and learn the city’s shortcuts to rack up a high score.

🧩 Key Features

• Fast-paced arcade-style gameplay
• "ghost physics" traversal system
• Stylized pixel art cityscape
• Risk vs reward: balance speed with control

🎮 Controls

• Arrow Keys / WASD: Apply force in that direction
• M: Expand Map
