This was one of my first game development experiences - there were a lot of mistakes made that I've learned from since. For instance, the game story I find to be a bit corny - and it also appears rushed in some areas. Some levels are frustrating to beat, and there are only 10 levels.

It also doesn't help that the game was a little under-baked - it was developed within a 6 month period (April 2024 -> October 2024).

In a way, I might continue development to fix these mistakes - I still have ideas for this game, particularly for more content and story revisions. Although, I have no idea if this will ever come to fruition.
