I always forgot to do this so I guess I’m doing it now. Currently I’m working on a underwater type game and depending on my free time might finish around 1-6 months depends.

Love the profile picture and username!! 😃  
Great chill game so far, but it gets pretty spooky below 1400, it’s so dark and grayscale…  
…and there’s these weird channels cutting through the earth…  
…NEW OBJECTIVE: RUN!?

It’s always the smallest games that are the most interesting! I have so many questions about where this could be going…

Shameless plug:  
I fixed all those weird bugs in the lantern/multilights extension when I made my own version! It will fix that weird bug causing the lines on the right and bottom of the screen. You can also change the color ramps, which will let you fix some of the weird colors in your light rings, like when the 2nd to last ring makes stuff look yellow for some reason. You can find it here: [Lanterns: improving the Multilights extension!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/lanterns-improving-the-multilights-extension/33190)  
Make sure to scroll down to find the color ramps explanation if you’re going to change them!

@WoofWoof Now that I’m thinking about it, for your lantern extension is there a way to make the light radius get smaller the deeper you get, what I mean is like if your at 500 the light is 10 but as you go deeper the light gradually gets smaller. you you get what I’m saying

Yup! It might get a bit laggy if you try to set a new size in an On Game Update block, because the circle gets recalculated every time you do that, so just put the code in a Forever loop (those run slower) to avoid causing too much lag.

i was wincing every time i hit a wall. 😱
