Version 0.02

Under the Hood
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This update took longer than expected, but for a good reason — I decided to redo all animations from the first release. It was a huge amount of work, but I believe it was 100% worth it. The result is smoother motion, improved color stability, and an overall higher-quality experience.

  • Total of 3,483 images (up from 2,778 in v0.01)
