Gameplay is buggy, with bad hitboxes and physics
From 1 comment
Funny idea but wow the gameplay is terrible and full of bugs. Bad hitboxes, shells that bounce in front of holes, bad physics. AI still cannot oneshot 2D platformers, the most…

Text on signs unreadable and music broken on Safari
From 2 comments
Desktop Safari 18.6 / Mac: Nice, but none of the text on the signs are readable. Just appears as unreadable dots. Also the music doesn't work on Safari. Firefox works great!

Maker's prompts
From 1 comment
I'd be interested in seeing your prompts, out of curiosity. Either way I had a good laugh when I realized it wasn't going to end and getting the coins/tokens was pointless.
