For some reason, trying to extract from the zip archive throws up an 'unspecified error' in Windows for most of the files. After extracting, the only files that survived were floppy.png, floppy0.png, and txt.png.

I tried re-downloading the archive again and it keeps giving the same errors.

I'm sorry to hear that, I was able to reproduce the error. I prepared a zip archive with different compression settings, which will hopefully fix the problem, but I can only upload it after the GBJam 11 is over. You can also try to use another decompression program. For example, 7-Zip extracted everything without a problem. If you haven't done so, you can also watch a video of the game here:

Thanks for the response! I tried with 7-Zip instead and that worked just fine; it's buried in the right click menu on Windows 11 so I forgot it was an option. 😅 I appreciate you checking on the issue!

Really cool and original take on the theme! Very simple and clean execution too. Nicely done!

Interesting interpretation of the theme!
