Oof, the high score thing is a bug. It should actually say no high score. Definitely needs more juice, you're right! Originally I wanted the lava surface of the planet to dynamically reflect the game state as well, but I hadn't figured out how to pass the entire enemy death update to the shader before crunch time.

If you ever figure that out, let me know. Def something I’m going to need to know in the future. My guess would be to have a signal on a global object, then whenever an enemy dies, trigger that signal with position data. Then on the planet listen to the signal and apply the information to the shader on that object? Who knows
