Some notes

    I've always intended for the game to be somewhat playable regardless of language, which is why most tutorials don't have text. I'm going to still attempt to do this in future updates.

I think I should have made it more clear that the game is in a pre-alpha state. I still intend to add more features/animations/characters, etc.

    Thanks to everyone who was willing to provide feedback. I've spent a lot of time developing this on my own without showing it to anyone, which made me get used to flaws and miss things that were obvious to people trying it out for the first time. It's nice to know some people have enjoyed what's been done so far, even with the game being unfinished. I intend to update the game regularly as I had done before uploading it.

A huge thank you to people for playing and supporting the development. I'm honestly shocked by the number of people who have viewed the game. I really appreciate the feedback and positive support.
