Short and sweet, I think this game strikes a great chord when it comes to this theme! I completely relate to your story of having to scrap something and moving onto a different project, as I wasted a solid 3 days on my initial idea.
If I had any feedback for the game, (and I'm really stretching here lol), the spaceship movement is a bit hard to get used to, maybe some slightly tweaked controls would make it feel a bit better.
Still, coming up with such a cool concept in 2 days with clean graphics, sounds, and music is just incredible. Take my vote for winning this jam!
