A Quick Note 💬#

I shared this on Discord, but I want to say it here too because I believe in being open with you all 🙂

I’m constantly trying to improve the game, fix issues, and bring new ideas to life. I appreciate every suggestion, message, review, and comment: whether it comes from email, the Play Store, Reddit, Discord, or elsewhere. I hope you can see that effort reflected in the frequent updates.

That said: I’m just one person, with limited time and energy. Not every idea can make it into the game (sometimes because it doesn’t fit the original design, sometimes because it’s technically complex, or simply because I miss it while juggling everything).

If your suggestion doesn’t make it into the game, or I take a while to respond or implement it, please know it’s not because I don’t appreciate it.

Thank you for your patience, your creativity, and your kindness. You all make this journey special 💜

Thank you for being part of this adventure 😍
