The item collection stuff log jammed itself and was being handled entirely in my slime class. No more! I created a different class for showing the collected item and the addition to the score.
Beyond that, when collecting more than one item within the decay timeframe, the old score bumps upward.
Items and scores also fade in their last half second of existence
The game is still hard. The slime is moving so fast so there’s a natural challenge there. I artificially increased the paddle hitbox by 6 pixels (h x w). Hopefully it’s less frustrating.
