❄️ Winter and achievements

The winter theme is active since Dezember and I improved the contrast between the snowy background and game elements. In addition, it was time to iterate on the motivating factor.

New Feature - ⭐️ Achievements

Achievements are a motivating factor in games, especially chasing the last few achievements left is a motivation which pushes players to do the extra effort to really finish a game.

The first achievements are basic counts with a few based on your work schedule.

I will iterate on the feeling of an unlocked achievement, right now you will find a small notification at the right border of the screen.

Also, a list of all achievements will be added in the future.

New Feature - 🔥 Streak

Another motivating factor are streaks; consecutive days with finished Pomodoros. The fire pit will light up, if you are on a streak. A streak survives up to two days without a pomodoro (like a weekend).
