How did you/your team interpret the theme?
Fairly loosely... things in the environment (that you collect) change your clothes.

I wanted to create a game with at least a little replay value but it's only a case of beating your previous high score.

How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
I finished the game a few days ago and considered adding more bells and whistles but decided to draw a line... no point going over the top for such a simple game :D
