Ryan, thank you for playing through to the ending and writing such a thoughtful review. We replayed and tweaked the game constantly during the jam, so honest feedback from a fresh pair of eyes means a lot. ❥
We’re a small bunch of game enthusiasts who could probably keep polishing forever! We had more ideas than time, and there are still things we’d love to improve. Your controller suggestion gives us something useful to discuss.
Hearing that the mechanic and story came together for you is really encouraging. Glad we crossed paths through this jam, and thanks again for giving our first entry so much care!
