I got to say I really like how they handled their credits. I applaud game devs for trying to make their credits a little more fun for the person playing the game. Often you are sitting there waiting to see if there is anything after or in some games you are waiting to save for new game plus. So instead of having just a list of credits you make them either interactable or entertaining instead of just waiting for a list of names to roll by. It isn't to say that crediting people isn't important. However, making it more fun will mean that some people pay more attention and the player isn't sitting there with dead space. Some people might not care but it's an extra step that I appreciate seeing done.
