It's a super short jam, you did good while learning new tools in a tiny time frameš

Thanks. Defold seems pretty cool, a bit barebones but well documented. The collection/game object/component is a bit weird coming from Godot, but started to get the hang of it in the end and I heard it scales well. Had to hack together letterboxing and my own camera though, which was new but pretty interesting to learn. And strings needs to be hashed for some performance reason. But I think itās Lua that finally broke me.
IF THEN END : bit more to write but I guess itās more readable or something
Not equal is ~= : kinda annoying on a Nordic keyboard but sure
Global variables : seems a bit dangerous but ok
Local variables are shared between instances : got me there, but can be kinda useful I guess
Array is a table with integers for keys : nope
I think understand that last thing wrong and itās not that bad, but Iām so tired at this point of all the weirdness I need a break. Sorry, had to vent for a bit, a tad frustrated with this project.
