Unfortunately, something came up on Saturday, so I had to leave at noon (even though I was planning to sleep) and could only return to the game two hours before the deadline on Monday evening. \n\nThat's why the game is made up of placeholders. I originally wanted to do pixel art for that, and that's also why power-ups and challenges (shark, hurricane, whirlpool) weren't included. I initially aimed for 10 levels.
