Thank you very much for the kind words! We appreciate it!
Yeah, I agree it could be tedious, the next time we will think better about the task for the areas.
For the UI menu, you are absolutely right, it is one of the less effective parts. To be honest, at the start I thought it could be a good idea to experiment with UI-Animation, but are you pointed out it didn't perform as expected :D. It is more difficult than expected.
In any case, thank you for the feedback and especially for playing the game!
