Oooooh, thank you for playing our game and leaving such a detailed comment, I really appreciate the feedback!
- What do you mean by reused? Did you mean that the window game over screen gets played even when there is nothing outside? Pffft, usually nothing is reused, so it might have been a bug...?
- According to the other comments... it seems like we do lack a lot of explanation, yes! I will keep this in mind when making my next games! (Also, I found it harder than expected to properly explain game mechanics and tutorials diegetically... Since I know the game in and out I wasn't sure on what to explicitly tell...)
- And on the last point, I did ask a few friends to play test the game, only to realize how much lacking in juice it is, it's something that I didn't notice was a problem until they point out how confusing it is!
