A small remake of a game jam game I created about having a cold beer with an old friend under the warm Texas stars. This version features new hand drawn art, new dialogue, an animated font and an additional song by Chris Schlarb. Originally created for the Mystic Western Game Jam hosted by Juegos Rancheros.
