Farming can alleviate that but perhaps the dodge mechanic would be the silver bullet to close this design gap hehe\n\nEither way, I'm super happy with the final product, and I'm glad people are enjoying it as well.

I liked the idle animation of the bee, and the instructions on the carpet in the intro area were a smart idea.
