Our team (like I'd imagine most teams) also struggled with work/life getting in the way, spending too much time on the central mechanic and also didn't finish. You were at least nice enough to put a message to the player in the game! We probably should have done that. As you said, you're proud and you should be. I really like the monochromatic color scheme and the artwork. Excellent work.

The mechanic felt unique, I also enjoyed the limited color palette and clean visuals!
