Are you a game developer? Try these 4 fun exercises!

Forward Lean (picture of a man leaning forward in his desk chair somewhat depressingly)

Backwards Lean (picture of a man absolutely and completely deflated in his desk chair)

Knees-to-Chest Stretch (picture of a man in the fetal position with tears welling up in his eyes)

Egg Rolls (picture of a man lying on his side, clutching himself, sobbing, and a small puddle of tears forming)

Don't worry.
The bombs in this game are remote-controlled, so you can detonate them whenever you like.
In the early stages of development, they were actually time bombs!

UI animation demos I made in Unity while on break. I put in some placeholder art to better show the scaling animations.

Please Note: I would commit unspeakable horrors for Dotween because I have an undying hatred for the Unity animation track.
