Congrats Dad and son. I was going to say something about the blue text on red being hard to read. But you know what? Keep it. Live the vibe.
Thank you!

#202Very cool. One of the attacks was blocked due to insufficient charge. Has he considered a charging status indicator e.g., bar or countdown timer?
charging isn't clear here. He plans to fix this for the next version. We've talked about using a visual indicator, perhaps greying out uncharged attacks.
Yeah that's cool. Will try it again once new version ready.

#204My old eyes can’t read the text on that color.
His young eyes don't understand the problem. But it will be fixed for v2 ;)
We had a talk about color contrast and WCAG

there's a newsletter link on his page. He'll type up a message to send when the next version is out!

#206Looks amazing! Would love to know when the weapon is charged and how much each shot takes. Btw, this game reminds me of BBS door games. Great stuff.
Appreciate the feedback!

#207So you want your kid to triage some bugs? LOL Contrast. Use white text on dark colored buttons & controls
Kids dad here. You've been heard! :)

#208I had a most excellent fight with a black hole, in which I managed to emerge victorious. Nice art! 10/10, would play again
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!

#209Games are a series of interesting decisions. That’s one formulation. Being asked what x+y is with some graphics is not an interesting decision. Perhaps an interesting decision comes later, but I wasn’t interested and bounced.
A child can build a game that would be interesting to other children. If it's also interesting to an adult, that's a bonus, if anything.
That said - thanks for checking it out :)
