This is hilarious and creative! Love the idea of gamifying the contributions graph.

Does it use the actual commit data (like number of commits = enemy count ) or is it just random?

Would be cool if different types of contributions (PRs, issues, reviews) spawned different enemy types!

Great way to make the contributions graph actually fun to look at.

Yes, the "commits = enemy life". Different enemy types is such a genious idea!
