That would definitely be an improvement, using classes is probably more robust. In my case, the project wasn't too huge and it was solo, so I never hit issues with string references.

Thank you! I just started on a new project and it felt nice to remind myself what worked well in the previous one.

Grow home, it surprisingly gives me Death Stranding vibes

How does it compare to nobara?

Love these blog posts from them

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how that turned out, there's cartoony art+cartoony sound effects+ cartoony gameplay

Thank you! You mean the theme of the game or the Godot UI theme?

Thank you! I worked on this in my free time, about 4-8 hours a week roughly, over 2.5 years. It definitely took longer than expected but it was a good lesson in learning how to scope. My biggest regret is probably not doing more design work before I started implementing things.

I also kind of regret doing most of the art myself, next time I would definitely start with premade assets or work with an artist.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed doing some of my own sound effects though. It turns out you just hit things with other things near a microphone 😆

Return to menu is good, I'll add it to my list for next patch! I was playing a bit yesterday to see how high I could score: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2486635451064632667/6E585FBAF895F9EA93278135F7904F9B0E2A2B51/

I took a wild guess also! I looked for similar Godot games on the steam store. I did try to err on the cautious side though

Making titles is almost as hard as making games 😂

The feedback is very appreciated! I'm collecting a list of things for future patches.

For the difficulty, I definitely skewed towards more difficult because it's an arcade style game. There's always a base of 6 mice per wave, but each power up you purchase adds a mouse to the next wave. The idea is that you can either be really good at bouncing, or you make good use of power ups to be able to reach $70. If you can earn enough to get one power up in a wave, try using that to help start snowballing to higher moneys in subsequent waves
