Freshaliens "It's a bit janky, but it's fun and has great speedrun potential."

The frontend of the leaderboard is bugged client side but the score submission works! Please give me a couple of days to fix it and discover how you're positioned against your friends :D

Freshaliens is a 1.5-players 2d platformer. That means that the game is conceptually thought to be played by one person controlling both characters simultaneously, but two-player-one-keyboard cooperation is also encouraged to play the game under a different light!
