   The product hunt ad is breaking the immersion for me. I know that most cities have ads but still, I prefer ad free pixel art.

   It’s also not realistic, in one landscape the billboard is taller than a 9 story building.

      Would a hide option help, or should the billboard itself blend into the scene better?

         Just delete it :/

         Ads are the worst and they're antithetical to the vibe of something like this

         If it's an actual ad.. You'd get more goodwill (and maybe clicks) out of a tiny 'if you appreciate this maybe check out product hunt to support me' message somewhere. At least it's not manipulative that way.

            A small optional support link makes sense. I’ll think about moving the promotion out of the scene so it doesn’t interrupt the atmosphere.
