Yeah, I considered doing that, but I had to work during the final day of the jam (until the deadline) so I worried that lowering the speed would increase the difficulty of the game too much and I wouldn't have time to change the levels to make it work. I programmed this game JavaScript without a game engine so adjusting levels was a bit more tedious than usual. If I change it after the jam I'll probably implement that. 

Yeah, I didn't make the sprite change based on direction because I don't like to do art. Sorry about that.

Also, the getting stuck in walls glitch was intended. I didn't want to feel like there were any arbitrary restrictions on the system. That's why I added the R to reset button.
