      Plan to build small — then polish hard.

      ✅ Prioritize a working prototype
      ✅ Cut features early
      ✅ Save time for menus, music, and testing
      Remember: a finished simple game > an unfinished epic.

          🧠🌩️ Brainstorm Before the Jam!

          A few supporting theme ideas you can safely brainstorm in advance:
          🧩 Puzzle mechanics
          🕹️ One-button controls
          💥 Boss rush mini-games

          Having mechanics in mind = faster prototyping!
