Counting Thonks

This was created for libGDX Jam 15 - "The Player is Asleep". In this "game" (more like "screensaver") the objective is to get as high a score as possible before you fall asleep, in real life. Every 10th thonk is a special stolen thonk, which should help you keep track if you're starting to doze off.

This game was featured in Raeleus' libGDX Jam December 2020 Review.
