January 16, 2022Smaller update this week than I would have liked. I received my booster covid-19 shot last week and it took a lot out of me. Still better than getting the virus though. Anyway.

Reflex – Dev Diary 61 – Timing
October 31, 2021This week my attention was to continue testing world 3 levels and checking that all the 3 star timings were actually doable.
