My object is changing everytime because its angle is attached to the angle of the mouse but I’m overthinking if the the full rotation of this object increases, so it does. I tried to print(rotation) and it increases the number of times it completes a fully rotation even the rotation_degrees. Will this be a problem to my game if it the game is long, or will it overflow and give bug to the game.

If you are in 2D, rotationis a 64 bits float, see: GDScript reference — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English. It means its upper limit is 1.79769e+308 which is pretty big.

In 3D, the rotation is a Vector3 which uses 32 bits floats. This means a max value of 3.4028235e+38

You should be safe for now!
