It's refreshing to hear that you were aware of that kind of issue — it's all too easy to get lost in the forest on a project and lose sight of the overall fun to be had. I know this is just a demo, and I'm sure with some iteration and development this could be a really cool and unique puzzle game.
And yeah, thanks! We try our best! We've got a decent-sized team, to be fair, so I'm honestly more impressed overall by the smaller projects, but we really appreciate the kind words :)
