Added minor tweaks to "Polyomino Generator": - Add an icon - Set colors (background, edge, icon) - Set export dimensions Also had to move away from itchio, as it had a limitation of 1000 files and I'm too lazy to find a proper solution, so am hosting all 4000 icons beside it 😆 #gamedev #indiedev

I was on a call discussing "kill cam" with a team-mate. I said "The camera should look from killer towards the victim" and a guy sitting next to me turned and looked towards me.
