💬 Developer Notes

This is our biggest update yet! We went from "casual tower defense" to "full story-driven ant apocalypse simulator."

The story is simple, sweet (pun intended), and hopefully makes you smile while defending pastries from hungry insects. Because if we're being honest, those ants have impeccable taste.

Big thanks to everyone who played v0.2 and gave feedback. Your reports of "Gingerman is useless" have been heard loud and clear. He's been hitting the gym! 💪

Now go forth and SAVE. THAT. CAKE. 🎂✨
