Thanks very much for the critique!
Music would be nice, yes. Couldn't find something that could quite fit in the public domain & I've not the skills to make something quick, but I do hope to learn how to compose. Maybe I can get good enough to provide at least one song for any next competition.
As with the picture of Earth and the painting of tiktaalik during load, the 3D rendering was part of a public domain picture. I don't know how to make 3D models on that note. Sorry if the title screen was misleading, I just wanted it to be eye-catching and cute.
It's supposed to checkpoint what level you've made it to last, something I should have definitely prioritized fixing, but did not.
Thanks for playing!
