At first it was a bit confusing, it would've been nice to have the controls screen visible later as well and maybe have slightly more of an explanation of how everything works. The UI in the main menu was also a bit small. Aside from that, the graphics and animations were really well made and looked good, and the mechanic is pretty original and fun! Good job :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":797175,"author_name":"benskca","author_uid":"benskca","epoch":1649200624,"text":"Made it to 57 on level 3! :smile: \n\nI love the sprites and the games really clear visually, communicating everything it needs to quickly and cleanly.
