Thank you so much! I'm sorry about the flickering text! Interestingly, it actually wasn't intentional at all—it just seems to be an unfortunate graphical glitch of the way I was using to display the text.
Originally, the flickering it was a lot worse—the whole screen was flickering beige (the colour that surrounds the screen). I had to try a bunch of workarounds just to stop the entire screen from flickering. So, in conclusion, the flickering text sadly wasn't intentional, and normally I would want to try to make something like that optional! So yeah, oops, sorry about the flickering.
I'm really glad you appreciated my choices of music and sound effects to set the tone! That means a lot to me, since that's one of my favourite things to do. Thanks so much for the feedback! :)
