Haha, thanks for telling me some actual advice! I originally went for a noise when the bar changed, but it was annoying and not easy to tell what it meant. I may update it (after the jam) to have a visual cue.
As for the speech bubbles, that's just Scratch's built in [say () ] block. I could make that more matching to the other text in the game post-jam as well!
yeah and also the play again button looks like trash i know
Thanks for the review and sorry for writing you an essay! :)
