Kids dad here.

I was not expecting animations for v1 either! But one day he asked me what the extra buttons were in Piskel and I explained frames + layers. His eyes lit up and the flying snake was born an hour later. Originally with 4 frames, but mom gave him feedback that he needs more frames for it to be smooth. Thus I believe it is currently 8 frames!

And we have talked in depth about how not to use AI. He has a healthy mistrust of it because he's seen first hand how it hallucinates.

v2 has sounds, which got us into a long discussion around copyrights. He's recording his own! ;)

Dude, flying snake is my favorite. I've had a pretty bad week, and this really made my day. I miss the weird internet, with sprites and CMYK bright green. Great job.
I'm glad it brightened your day!! Appreciate the comments!
