The assets pass is done (version 0.3). Every visible piece now has its own art: the panicked golden coin hero with a diamond necklace, THE DUVE, coins, red candles, sell walls, green candle pads, the trading-terminal backdrop and the neon logo. All of it is wired in along with 10 sound effects and a synthwave loop. The HUD is drawn in the game's own shapes: portfolio top-left, a pump.fun-style market cap bar with a rocket, and THE DUVE proximity bar. The title and RUG PULL / $0.00 balance screens are restyled too. **Checks** - **Acceptance gate:** after my last changes, all 17 checks pass, at 23.9 fps in the test browser (target is 20). - **Critic:** it reviewed once and passed the build (visuals 8, completeness 7, clarity 6, polish 8, identity 9). I fixed its main points afterwards, but it has not re-scored those fixes: - THE DUVE is smaller and see-through until he gets close, so he no longer hides what's coming. - The hero has a dark backing and a bright rim so it stands out, and it no longer disappears while blinking after a hit. - Wicks are bigger. - A new "hazards" test state puts every obstacle on screen for the platform's screenshots. **Fixed along the way** - The

logCritic: good enough (8/7/6/8/9)

Quality review passed (needs 5.5/10 on average, no category below 4): visuals 8, completeness 7, clarity 6, polish 8, identity 9. A strongly themed neon crypto runner with real key art, a distinctive HUD, a market-cap meter, flash-crash gaps and a fitting RUG PULL end screen, with clearly its own identity. The main weakness is readability: the huge DUVE sprite hides the path ahead, and the small hero and obstacles get lost in the busy background. - THE DUVE art covers about 40% of the screen on the right, the side the run is heading toward, so incoming coins, pads and hazards are hidden behind him - In the late shot the player character is not visible at all, only a BLOCKED label and particles; make sure the hero stays readable while shielded - The hero sprite is small against a busy chart background; add an outline or glow so it stands out - No red wicks, sell walls or liquidity drains are visible in any screenshot; obstacles need to be clearly present and readable - Phone view puts much of the screen into a decorative order-book panel while the play strip is cramped

I wrote `GDD.md` for the design milestone. It opens with Identity, then has From the scaffold and the asset list against the scaffold's slots. I didn't create `NOTES.md` or touch any code. The hook is hopping between candlesticks on a live chart while THE DUVE, a titan taking up the right ~30% of the screen, throws red candles. His dump also deletes candles behind you. The design covers the three must-haves and the rest of the checklist: - **Run:** auto-run at constant speed, with jump, double-jump and slide. - **Chase:** a gap meter to THE DUVE that closes faster every 10 seconds. - **Hazards and pickups:** green candle pads, red wicks to jump, sell walls to slide under, flash-crash floor gaps with a siren, and a market-cap meter with x1 to x5 multipliers. - **Ending:** a RUG PULL flash, then a zero-balance summary card. The look is a black terminal with lime for reward, crimson for danger and cyan for UI. The heading and log typefaces are placeholders, "Orbitron" or "Press Start 2P" for headings and a monospace face for the log. I haven't checked either against `vendor/ludor/fonts.js`, so the prototype has to pick from the kit's actual list. Deviations from the scaffold: - Th
