AnimSprites v0.5

Version changes :

• Improved robustness of level loading with validation and error handling : platforms and bushes are now reliably persisted.
• Improved free camera panning for smoother navigation by preventing the player from triggering auto-scrolling.
• Added a rain effect, toggleable from the build menu.

This app needs .Net 9 framework to run.
If it's not installed on your device, the app will invite you to download it from Microsoft on first launch.
