Actually, it’s pretty awesome how enjoyable it is to make web builds with #Defold. I knew this, and I’ve recommended Defold to other game developers with this in mind, but it’s still so awesome! 😁

Half an hour later, I had to fix a bug on the winning screen. 😆

So you have to break them back into letters and numbers!
