This game is pretty cool! Few points of criticism . . .
- Yet another game where the "Name your price" has been left on, which at best tells of carelessness and at worst is a really bad sign. If this was accidental, no problem! If it was intentionally enabled, stuff like that should be turned on only after the Jam, not during it!
- The middle-doors do not have the "press x to open a door" tooltip, which made it hard to notice that they are even usable and I was really puzzled about where you're meant to get the key with only two rooms. This is a massive oversight, I thought that they are just a part of the background and I only found out by looking at the rest of the comments for this game
- I should not have to install a Jam-game, under any circumstance. Jam-games should be accessible for everyone or a least as many people as possible as conveniently and easily as possible, preferably playable in browser but at most a zip-folder

Thanks a lot for playing and for the detailed feedback — I really appreciate you taking the time to write this!
About the pricing: the “name your price” setting was left on by mistake during submission. While it doesn’t break the jam rules, I agree it’s not ideal for a jam environment where accessibility and feedback should come first. I’ll make sure to keep it free during the event and only consider pricing after it’s over.
Regarding the doors: that’s a completely fair point. The lack of a tooltip/clear indication is on me — I can see how that made it confusing to understand that they were interactable. I’m going to improve the UI and add a proper prompt so it’s clear that you can open them.
About the download: while the jam rules do allow a Windows build, I understand your point about convenience. A browser version or easier access would definitely help more people try the game. I focused on getting a stable build submitted in time, but I agree that improving accessibility is important and I’ll aim for that in future updates/jams.
Thanks again for the honest feedback — it really helps me improve!
