I love all the little animations. The desk toy in the Major's office, the pointer during night-mode. Lots more to this game than meets the eye.

Thanks a lot! You’re right; there’s a lot beneath the surface. More than a casual gamer can see on their lunch break—here’s hoping most people see that as a positive feature! ⏱️😃
