Well, Well I must say that is a great idea and top notch exectuion.
However I have to return the ball that Teapot threw at me and say... I wish it was more polished/balanced ;)
This is definitely a great basis for a potentially awesome game (not that it isn't good right now!). Multiple purposes of objects in the game, easy to learn, hard to master, basically everything from a good design is in place here.
It would be more pleasant if there was a more explicit description of what the game mechanics are, even on the itch page. I know that it is not that hard to grasp what the game is about, but given that we are all after 96h of jamming and playing a lot of games I would like to have it fed to me with a spoon.
Great entry, awesome dual (or even more) interpretation of the theme implemented.
