Applying some more changes to Mancalero bit by bit * altered and consistent scoring bar * curved pits for sleek look and to better resemble Mancala * flavour text of enemy removed for space (click on the enemy to read instead) Fixed a few glitches on this gif too. #gamedev #indiedev #game #demo

It is so nice being on vacation but I miss working on games quite a bit- sometimes it can be consuming like a black hole. Do devs relate? Is that a good or bad sign? 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev

Hey everyone, Mancalero known issue: Apple Silicon Mac players may see unplayable menu/UI lag by my bad design, causing loss of GPU acceleration on some ARM Macs. A native Apple Silicon build is coming. Gameplay itself isn't affected, just some UI smoothness.
