This is soo awesome! I'm loving the artwork for the game and the mechanics are just the right amount of floaty, haha.

I think the biggest opportunity for improvement in my mind would be some music + sound effects! But totally understand this was only built in a short bit of time. It's still incredibly polished! 🙂

Nice work all around!!

Thank you so much Michael!

I actually spent quite some time during one of my streams trying to find just the right amount of floatiness 😂

You are totally right, I didn't have time to work on the music, but then I also forgot to create an Issue for it. Thanks for the suggestion!

This is how the main menu of the game look like with my contribution:

Maravilhoso, peço que me perdoe mas tenho que perguntar tenho uma ideia e queria compartilhar aqui pois acho pertinente.
Bom eu vi o seu trabalho e digo novamente maravilhoso, porque não criar um repositório colaborativo com várias áreas da informática, dados programação e afins para projetos que gerem renda para os colaboradores pois basta de se render ao mercado especulativo das empresas, tornemos nossa experiência em renda e ajudado uns aos outros para chegar a um comunidade hiper colaborativa ... Não sei se me expressei de forma correta, mas fica a mensagem, parabéns novamente
