How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Theme: Speedrun - The gameplay loop limits your time to move unless you quickly type letters. I thought this fits the speedrun theme by encouraging players to be pushing as fast as possible.

Special Object: Bag - The player character uses a shopping bag to fight off enemy robots. The special object being a bag is what inspired me to set the game within a mall.

Very well thought out system and original! But why pack the robots in a bag? :)

Not to worry, the 10 page accompanying lore explanation is on its way ;)
