Thanks! I agree, numbers going up seemed like the easiest way to make a fun-feeling game while keeping the scope small. I usually over-do it on jams instead.

Thanks! I realized that might be a problem after I finished wiring up the UI, I should've just made the icon and text one big button.

Nice! I was wondering if 5 minutes was too short, but it feels like the sweet spot for a jam game. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks! I figured short and sweet is the way to go for a game jam.

Absolutely! I used it as a replacement for documentation and StackOverflow. I can give some concrete examples:

• This is my first time using Godot, so I used it for a lot of engine questions. Things like "what is the Godot version of Unity coroutines?" and "where is the 9-slice image setting for this panel?" or "how do I make a global singleton?"
• I used it to get code snippets, like I would from the documentation. It was mostly for the tween library, so things like "var tween := create_tween()" or listing the different arguments for the set_trans() and set_ease() functions. Or the difference between "self_modulate" and "color" arguments when changing the alpha channel.
• I used it to keep track of my progress as a rubber duck/interactive journal/hype man. I'll put in a todo list at the end of the night, or I'll describe a design decision I made. I've found this is helpful for me to get through mental blocks when I'm working solo.

I hope that's clear. I tried to stay within the spirit of the rules by keeping it away from the assets, code, and design. The submission disclosure was much more broad, so I figured it's better to be safe than sorry.
