Decided to just go ahead and add a traditional Command Menu to my game I previously tried to reinvent the wheel and make a unique UI, but I realized for a HeartsLike game, the Command Menu just feels more comfortable and instantly readable #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

I still think this style of "reflections" in video games is the best looking
