How do you try it out in the web browser? There's no obvious link on the website
Requires google play to run :/
I know this ship has probably sailed but the LLM cover text still feels off-putting to me, like you haven't considered my needs as a reader. I come away at the end with a feeling of "what is the project actually worth to you if you can't spend 5 minutes describing it?"

For example, saying "code available on GitHub, inviting community contributions and transparency." I know what GitHub is, I understand the benefits of having it there, it's just a waste of brain power to read the rationale written out in this way.

Similarly "Custom-designed font created by the developer to enhance the game’s unique style?" Ok, that's great, but do I really care about that specific detail? It sounds like there was a conversation with an LLM and then a request to regurgitate the information into marketing speak, without any consideration for the actual needs of the people being marketed to.

Again, I know I'm probably increasingly alone in this and I'll have to just get used to it, but as a lover of writing it feels like watching a tragedy play out in real time.

I was hoping to be able to play on the website! Do games like this need a native app?
Permissions: - control vibration - Google Play license check

Not bad.

Reads like AI slop and the name makes me want to take a shower
