   I would say 3 people have contributed significantly. 1) Indie dev - build a first version of the game in Unity. She is responsible for the look&feel of the gameplay 2) Fiver person 1 - who made the very crude js version of the player wh

   Thanks :) I had a click sound, but it turned out that on some devices playing the click via javascript works awfully bad (random delays) and it was more confusing than useful. I intend to work on it a bit once I add some customizations opti

   Not really. It's something based on my name Kuba. Should sound like a game name, be short and have a free .com domain.

   Thank you. By the way. I didn't get the snarky vibe from the comment at all. Kuboble is born from Sokoban nostalgia :). I think this exact puzzle mechanic is a subset of many existing games. I would like to think that my original contr

   Oh yes. It has basically identical mechanics. However - I only started really liking my game when I have realized that you don't need big complex boards to make interesting challenges.

   Hi, It's that the animation and bumping is executed already when the stone does a short way - on a larger board it looks like this: https://i.gyazo.com/bd780834e5546a4d8f84791b0f619ebb.mp4 But I see how it can be confu

   I'm sorry. I will add a color-blind friendly palette.

    Thanks a lot! I haven't expected more than few people seeing it. I'm absolutely excited that people like it and give great feedback. * the move is applied automatically the moment the done does stone_width/2 in a free directi

    That's a good point I haven't thought about. It's obvious mistake on my part. I will make the colors configurable perhaps. Interesting that none of the reviewers raised this point.

    Let me also add ending notes. I believe you're extremely ignorant of reality. The reality being that labor in place A is different than in place B for many reasons unrelated to exploitation. 2$ in Kenya is terrible exploitation?? How a

    I would split your message consists in two parts. 1) imo obviously false statement: > The $15 is external too. OpenAI should have paid $15/hr Shoulda, woulda, coulda. The open AI also won't pay Kenyans the 15$. If they have to

    So right now the local market pays them 1$. Once the external 2$ is gone where will the 15$ come from?

    > Yes, because they would be getting $15 jobs instead of $2 jobs No. They would get nothing instead. I totally agree that 15$ would be likely better for them. But the 15$ isn't rightfully theirs. With this opportunity gone they wil

    Oh, don't get me wrong. Your statement in this case is hypocritical. And I stand by my argument and rat analogy. It's just that I'm pointing out that I'm trying to discuss this particular event of offering 2$ jobs. Eve

    You're building a strawman here. I don't try to fix the world. I'm trying hard to not be poor again myself, yes. In this topic I'm just stating very narrow argument that 2$/hr is better than nothing. And a company w

    If you look at my other reply in this thread you'll realize that I actually lived being this poor person in poor country. You might have your high morals and and what is morally rightest or who was at fault for me being born poor etc.

    I don't know what exactly "equal-pay-for-equal-work" stands for. But in this context as an analogy it's seeing a poor starving man eating a rat to survive. You basically want to take the rat away from him and shout &quot

    I also think it is probably good. Similarly when I was born in 1980's in Poland my father's salary was roughly 0.1$/hrs. My first job in 1999 paid me less than 2$/hrs. If any American company would be allowed to hire pep

    I'm not sure if "I just bought a Tesla and you should not" is a compelling argument if it's followed by "because it's a great car and I like it but now it's cheaper!"

    Yes. 100% super duper sure. It's something along the lines of: Pi+=2 in one place of the code. And Pi += 1.1415 somewhere else. And both are guaranteed to run at the start of the program so that Pi=3.1415 However one of those lines i
