With that NASA money he could afford a battery for the smoke detector. It's so insane how polished everything you show feels, even the prototype footage looked surprsingly polished lol. First stage is so hype too

As someone who's been planning a platfighter for a long time, that attack editor is sick! I never even thought of that, and it seems super useful.<br>Great job making all this in just one year!
