This is a subtle change, but it required rewriting the pathfinding code for my #towerdefense #playdate game. Enemies can now trace preconfigured paths through the level. This gives me a bit more freedom to

Another boss -- the Foreman. It spawns other enemies as it moves. #playdate #indiedev #pixelart
