Objective Optional

**NOTE: There is a soft lock that was overlooked.  Please don't try and jump above the soda machine after fixing the laser, you WILL get stuck.**

If you have ever tried to fix what seemed like a simple problem and ended up in the middle of 3, 4, or 5 different projects, then you will feel right at home playing Objective Optional. You are a part of a crew that is traveling through space when you receive a new mission, but before you can start, there are a few tasks to get done around the ship. You will quickly discover that no task is a simple fix and one always leads to another. Complete all the required tasks so that you can get started on you important mission from headquarters.

This project was a submission for the Inbound Shovel Jam for 2025. My wife and I have a dream of making video games for a living, and this is the first game we have ever seen to completion. We built this ourselves and couldn't be more proud of it, even if its missing half the things we wanted. Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and be sure to look out for more things from Fuzzy Stego Studio!
