Apologies for mitigations we have to make to account for increased bot traffic. We've had a huge influx of traffic consistent with AI bots.
This is on top of regular user traffic having doubled over the past 6 months.
We don't have a large budget, as you can imagine, but we're doing our best!

I am weirdly excited for that. Official VB content (much less game re-releases) from Nintendo is so rare.

How to snow-ify a level in SGDK very quickly -
Swap the empty/0 areas of the tilemap to point at a 32x32 repeatable pattern, animate a little snowfall loop and load it into the same slot in vram and update every few frames.
Code sample shows how to apply it to a completely regular map.
