I added background music and a one-click "play now" option. Both made the game feel better immediately, and both exposed problems I hadn’t noticed before.
Multiplayer in particular revealed some animation timing issues where visuals and state briefly disagree. Spent most of the time fixing bots, UI resets, performance, and those edge cases.
The game feels tighter now.
Would love thoughts on the music if you’ve tried it. Does it fit the game, or should it be quieter or simpler? I’m still tuning it.
