I really like how the background piano sound is affected by my movements (whether I successfully eat the blue spheres & pass through gold rings)!
It's also nice to see how a game written with Rust :smile
Thank you for the kind words! Was nice to actually make something with Rust instead of just getting bogged down in engine dev like usual :p
Just realized I forgot to include the open-source licenses for the dependencies I used in the final download - I will push an update to fix this later today.
This is now done - all downloads of the game now come with a 'licenses' folder, containing the license for all open-source software used.
Awesome. I love music and mood in your game.
Thanks 😊
Cool music, great smothness on controls! :D
Thank you!
