This was beautiful, glad I found the time to play before the voting ended. Great job!

This was fun, nice work Wesley!

I enjoyed that. It was a bit confusing at first, but once I understand it was rather intuitive, addicting and made me feel powerful. 

I was hoping for more levels. Not sure how long the jam was,though. 

Unique, cohesive and enjoyable aesthetic. Liked puzzling out the placement and managing multiple resources. 

All the games that they made me play before I could play this were significantly less interesting and well made, this stands out to me, but that's not a surprise. Thank you for this experience and another chance to learn.

I'll hold onto the original mp4 video file for a while if you want it.

Thanks for playing it, and working your way through the voting queue to get to rate it. 😅

Glad you enjoyed it!

We've been collecting feedback, and we'll update the game after the voting period end. We had the assets needed for a boss fight and some other features, but we didn't get them in to the game in time. (People have been suggesting an infinite mode, and I think we'll add that as a "new game+" option for people who already beat the game. 🤔)

I've watched the video, so don't worry about holding onto the mp4. Thanks though. 👍
