The game is really cool, but I think there’s some incorrect information on your creator page:

“All GAMES BUILT SOLO — EVERY LINE OF CODE — EVERY ASSET — EVERY SOUND”

Also on the description:

"This game was built entirely alone — every script, every sound, every asset, every scene. No team. No budget. Just one person and a lot of sleepless nights."

If this is what you meant, I think you should consider changing it, since a few assets were taken from itch like the characters. I'm not sure, but it looks like that assets pack.

Hey, thanks a lot for pointing that out — I really appreciate it 👍

Just to clarify what I meant: when I said “built entirely alone,” I was referring to the fact that I worked on the whole project by myself — the coding, game design, implementation, and putting everything together.

It’s true that I used some assets from platforms like fab, but I personally searched for them, selected them, and integrated/modified them to fit the game.

I understand that the wording might sound a bit misleading, so I’ll consider updating it to make things clearer.

Thanks again for the feedback 🙏

Thanks for the reply!

I understand what you mean — selecting, modifying them to fit the game, and putting everything together is still real work, and a lot of devs do it that way.

But it still refers to the original creators of the assets, so I think it wouldn’t really be accurate to say “built” them as a fact. It’s more like you modified and integrated them into the game.

If most of the assets are yours, maybe just mention something like "most assets created by me", or highlight that the programming, game design, and development were all done solo, working late nights.

The quote feels a bit misleading yeah, but glad you’re open to changing it! :)

Looking forward to your future games, this one already feels really good!

Thank you for pointing that out, you’re absolutely right. I’ll make sure to clarify that in future projects. I really appreciate your interest in my games, it means a lot and keeps me motivated 🎮
