I can't type my fingers are litterally shaking right now, lol.\n\nThat had me gut busting all throughout the house. Almost woke up the kiddo. Your button game is a masterpiece, especially the in game assets. I like the credits being built-in. I didn't figure out what the <redacted> button does yet, but I don't think my fingers can handle it. Also, I suck at pong. Really suck when I'm using literally a laptop trackpad mouse and a right hand real mouse to click at double speed to keep up. \n\nYour joke was gold, and so was the background that inspired it. \n\nThank you! That was a great time, played 3 times before my fingers gave up, though I didn't realize that I should just mash at the start to get the text to go by fast. I sat there from 10->2 like for 30 clicks haha.
