Thank you so much for the detailed review! And yes, we'd love to continue working on this after the jam. As the person who drew the 2D art, the grid was the most difficult thing and went through the most iterations. Unfortunately time didn't allow me to explore other grids that both fit well with the theme and fit better pixel wise. It's definitely something to be improved on in the future.
Once again thank you for the thoughtful review ❤️
