This is my very rushed and quite unfinished entry for the Bevy Jam 7.

The idea behind the game was that you're having "one of those dreams": 

«You need to attend an important interview and you're running late.
You go on your way, but you forgot to put on your clothes and you're in your underwear... and your paperwork got blown away by the wind.
Luckily it seems nobody is around to see you... but for some reason, random objects along the way are calling you names... in random languages!
Collect clothes, paper sheets, items to keep your spirit up, all while dodging insults thrown at you, trying to reach the interview in time and in a presentable state.»

Move with WASD or arrows, avoid the emoji offenses, pick up chocolate to reduce your "sadness bar"... and that's it for now! ^__^' Unfortunately no pantless people searching for their pants!

The currently implemented game is based on `bevy_new_2d` and still has ducky as the character since I totally underestimated the time required to actually create a proper (series of) sprites.

Most assets are free SVG files (or created from SVGs) downloaded from https://freesvg.org or https://freepik.com or from Krita's libraries (the comic balloons). Emojis are SVGs from https://openmoji.org/ while the road has been butchered adapted from https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/school-building-near-road-illustration_32978.
Also thanks to Chris Biscardi for his Flappy Bird demo, from which I got the shader to  do the the background scrolling (simply I added a uniform to match the speed of the objects based on the window size).

HOWEVER!... While the name-calling is working and your sadness bar goes up if you're hit by the offences or down if you pick up chocolate and you get a Game Over if you fill your sadness bar, there's no endgame nor clothes nor papers to pickup, I didn't have the time to add them to the game.

The completed game loop would see you having to pick up clothes and papers within a certain time so that you can reach your interview's place. Not finding all the clothes or papers at the end of the timer would give you a game over (... but I'm not sure what to show if you actually win... 🤔)

Beware, some insults can really make you super sad!  ;-)
