Yup, this is one of the top things I pay attention to when making arcade games. The game over screen should put you back in the game immediately after a key press.

I don't see the usual "contains ads" disclaimer on Google Play... Anyway, great game. Would happily pay for this sans ads.

I had a dream a few days ago: our overlords cancelled the experiment (us), nah it's not working, but here's a new specimen with the "tribal" bit switched off. We suspect it might go better this time. The Futurama meme &q

I don't get AI hate. It's nothing other than "technology hate". As a web developer who started out in 2001/2002, I watched as custom web design jobs dried up, and more and more people (and ahem artists) started us
