Jesus Christ, I haven't felt so enthralled with a game like Mewgenics since I booted up a pirated copy of Binding of Isaac on my laptop in high school. It's simple joyous fun. I'm having an absolute blast and I'm only on the 3rd run!

Today's work was something I probably should have done a long time ago, implemented a main menu! Lot of time spent on making sure it could actually start a new game properly and linking the opening scene to first gameplay scene.

Progress!
