Cool demake! Are there any secrets I should search for, or have I seen everything upon beating the game? And is the title Minus 1 or -1, or is it just another mystery?🐸

Thanks! For the name Minus 1 / -1 works, I actually couldn't decide on which one so it really is a mystery in a way. 

There is a secret in there, something to do with the main menu but I won't give it all away....😉

Oh how silly of me, I actually just remembered a secret to do with  Lobster Cops portrait :D. That's one that could be fun for the wonderful retro achievements you made!

thanks, updated everything on retro achievements side

No problemo, thanks again for making the achievements!

It's been super cool to see the average playtime for the game, I had  originally seen the game as a 30-45 minute experience, an hour tops (hence the joke at the end haha) and it's been so cool to see that actually be the playtime!

(Also funny to see the people who speed through  it for the cheevos, 4 minute speedruns abound haha).
