Thanks! I did do a lot more work on the UI, Polish and sound effects.
The starry sky was implemented just before submission with the help of Dani's tutorial and Brainfart studio on discord. I thought it would be cool to see you move as before it looked a lot more static with the plain black background.
The idea is a bit goofy, and is inspired by old mobile and flash games such as kick the buddy and interactive buddy. It is good to hear that I executed it reasonably well as it is my first completed game.
