looks like we were playing each others game at the same time :D
thank you so much for the immediate feedback ! will try to improve it after the jam
for the exclamation mark you mean on the desktop icon right? they are present in the taskbar and the news tab itself but they turn off when you look at the news tab, so if you left it open from the previous day it's possible they didn't show, so i'll fix that as well
super happy to hear you enjoyed it ! good luck with your game !
