The ultimate goal with this game is to help raise funding to build mattress recycling centers, starting in my home town San Antonio, Texas. I plan to sell the game for $5.00 total. It will be split up as follows:

• 30-40% (depending on fees) will be donated to the nonprofit re-mat.org
• 2-30% will go to platform fees (depending on platform).
• 25% go to the artists and musicians.
• 15% goes to me, the developer.

I'm looking for help with art and music, any help is appreciated no matter how small.

Visit their site (https://re-mat.org) to learn about their mission. I don't work for Re-Mat. I'm a volunteer who has weird ideas and likes to build games.
