Citation needed for Bennett Foddy's contribution?

Bennett Foddy's inclusion as a programmer for this game is tagged as "citation needed". Although I can't find a citable source, his name is listed in the credits when you beat the game; here's an image of said credit: https://i.imgur.com/F4nedBR.png

Clearly the game itself should be considered authoritative when it comes to this fact. Unfortunately, this doesn't make for a citation. Considering that this fact is easily verifiable and, in a sense, self-evident, I'd like to drop the tag.

@Rolf h nelson: Is there a particular reason you flagged Foddy's inclusion with the "citation needed" tag? Most video game pages do not require citations for developers/programmers. Given the above information, would you be comfortable if it was removed? Wernstrom (talk) 08:07, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say its safe to drop. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 08:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I wasn't aware there was a credits section crediting Foddy. Removed the tag. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 03:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image and GA

This article appears to be quite good. I think it might deserve a GA nomination. Anybody agree?

Related, what is the status of the image? Does it fulfill the non-free rationale conditions? Horsesizedduck (talk) 22:02, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
