Hi thanks for playing! Yes- I spent my whole time making a (mostly) bug-free sand simulation and didn't have any time for the gameplay lol. When you die, the background turns black. I wanted to make it more about trying to not get buried before your task was finished but I didn't to a great job of that lol. I might switch it to more of a puzzle style task in my post jam build (along with all the optimizations and improvements I have listed). Hope that clears things up and thanks again for the feedback ;)
