I like how you interpreted the theme here, and the gameplay and artwork are well done! Progression mechanics are always really fun. Although, the itch app wasn't able to understand the executables on their own so I had to download it from the web. I got that "cannot read 'build' property of undefined" error: I believe this often happens when the uploaded files aren't set to their respective platforms.
Either way, nice work! And I love the visual style: reminds me of old flash games.
