(saw your posts on twitter during the jam and was looking forward to playing this)\n- '3d' in a 2D engine is always win\n- good humor\n- good game concept\n- the scoreboard is exactly what is needed for dropper games; how can I compete with myself otherwise! Glad you added one.\n- I like the sound effects that you managed to use\n\nImprovements:\n- have fun with pico-8's tracker and find a groovy tune for that dive\n- try the pico-8 alternate palette; it's got a lot more earth tones and might match the theme of the game even more\n\nBugs:\n- didn't find any\n\n\n\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":637957,"author_name":"Makeavoy","author_uid":"makeavoy","epoch":1619499902,"text":"@bw-devel thanks bud!
