I haven't got as far as downloading it yet, so I couldn't give any
accurate description. I will probably need to read a bunch of blog posts
and reviews first to do it justice anyway. If you do a search you will
find some of those and there are a bunch of screenshots on the site IIRC

I asked upstream if that was OK, he said yes and encouraged me to add it
to Debian. He has been making his games cross-platform and freely
licensed for many years, this one is only paid so he can feed his
family. I will probably mention his donation page in README.Debian or
similar, which isn't without precedent (vim).

Indeed, looking forward to trying it.

He has some more games coming that I will probably package too:
