In the 13th century, the Cathars, clerics who preached about the poverty of Christ and defended life without material aspirations, were treated as heretics by the Catholic Church and expelled out of the Languedoc region in France. One of them, called Jean Raymond, found an old church in which to hide from crusaders, not knowing that beneath its ruins lay buried an ancient evil.

It’s nintendo hard.
I only managed to get past the first three spider group one time before giving up, its a really beautiful looking game too bad it’s so hard.
This is never a good idea. If you want to cheat, you simply can, without hurting anyone else because it’s not multiplayer, and even without the source code or coding abilities (just watch playthrough videos). Obfuscating code can also clash with the license requirements. So dear programmers, please if you’re reading this, never do this, it only brings so many headaches.
We had to work in four, @Hanski to make something that can stand in the top like Pokitto Grand Prix.
And BTW Mars Attack! is still the preferred game by my daughter.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell when someone is intentionally obfuscating code and when they genuinely don’t know any better.
A lot of the time the answer to the question “why are you writing your code in this ugly/cryptic way, and not in this more readable way” the answer is either “I didn’t know you could do that” or “I didn’t think to write it that way instead”.
(Of course, if they genuinely want to obfuscate it, there are symbol manglers designed to do that better than a human could. Or just don’t provide source code in the first place. :P)
