Rather annoyingly my new game is not being indexed in the search of itch io - technovisual.itch.io/fitgame - however the suggestion is a bit of traffic coming through from external sites that may kick it into action - if everyone could have a quick look that would be really cool - cheers m'dears 😘

Captured using a Raspberry Pi with Picamera (HQ) in HD from a 16mm cine film nearly 80 years old! The film runs at 24 frames per second but I have upsampled it to 60fps - the sound was captured separately using an optical sound read head on a Bell and Howell Filmosound.
