If you're emailing me about the puzzle game you vibe coded I'm pretty sure my gameblog readers won't be interested in it. If you can't be bothered to take the time to make the thing, why should anyone bother to take the time to play the thing.

During routine testing of the game I'm currently working on three players got dangerously hooked. I'm reviewing my design process, this game might be better than society is ready for.

Devtip for game polish: calculate exactly how many fps a beat or bar takes in your game's soundtrack, now EVERY single timing in your game (tween length, fade length, gui buildup,...) should be a multiple of this
