Dear in-d Gaming,
I hope you’re doing well! My name is Emi, and I’m reaching out from Banzan Studios, the team behind SnackR—an exciting new platform that combines the best of TikTok, YouTube, and Patreon, specifically designed for creators like you.
We’ve been following your work, and we’re particularly impressed by your project "Oh! Circle, Dot." The creativity behind it caught our attention, and we believe it would resonate well with our growing audience on SnackR.
SnackR is an all-in-one platform where creators can share games, animations, and comics, and engage with a dedicated mobile-first audience. This is built by a team of folks who have been creators themselves and have faced the same problems that young creators like you do. Each feature and functionality is built while keeping the ‘Creator’ in mind. We're focused on giving creators control over their content and its reach, and we'd love for you to be part of this journey.
While "Oh! Circle, Dot." truly stood out to us, you’re not limited to submitting just that—we’d be thrilled to explore any other game or project you think might be a great fit for SnackR as well.
If you're interested in learning more about how SnackR could benefit you and help you reach new audiences, I’d love to discuss this further. Please let me know if you’re available for a quick chat. Feel free to check us out in the meantime:

I’ll also share a short video showcasing what SnackR is all about—this will give you a better sense of how we’re creating a platform tailored for creators like you: ~ https://www.instagram.com/p/DCVjW1LIM07/

Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

doesn't respond to the jump-key(s) half of the time.
Hm, I have not experienced this issue before. It will be looked into. Possibly a framerate issue, try turning the graphic setting down. A couple of memory-expensive camera filters are used in this game.
