Please review PKGBUILD for educational programming game laby

https://sgimenez.github.io/laby/

There is an outdated -git version in AUR which I used as a starting point:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/laby-git

There is one weird thing -- the top level directory in the downloaded .tar.gz is laby-laby-0.7.0 rather than just laby-0.7.0:

pkgname=laby
pkgver=0.7.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Learn programming, playing with ants and spider webs"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://sgimenez.github.io/laby/"
license=('GPL-3.0-or-later')
depends=('lablgtk3')
makedepends=('git' 'ocamlbuild' 'ocaml-findlib')
source=(https://github.com/sgimenez/laby/archive/refs/tags/laby-${pkgver}.tar.gz)
md5sums=('SKIP')

build () {
  cd "laby-$pkgname-$pkgver"
  make
}

package() {
  cd "laby-$pkgname-$pkgver"
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}
