#pico8 game update - mostly polish things like cool star field, score animations and popups. Improved enemy death animation too. Still no idea what name to give it

Wait is the barefoot investor actually…. based??

#pico8 arcade game is almost done now. My main aim now is some audiovisual polish and a few design tweaks to handle to better manage enemy spawning and overall game difficulty. I've been calling it Border Bounce but tempted to find a "real" name

I had a such a great time doing death quips for the awful nobles in my game, I have now decided to let those nobles quip BEFORE EVERY TURN. Annoying? Absolutely, and that's the point! #pico8

Imagine it was the only yellow thing in the game.

Remember parents, if you watch Everything Everywhere All At Once with your kids, it's important to check in with them afterwards and make sure you talk over anything they didn't fully understand.
