last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Megabonk proves something we've always known to be true: quality of graphics, story/plot, art direction are all sideline to the most important aspect: the game being just really really fun
