Glad to see you here! Didn't notice you're part of this jam, too!
Thanks for detailed feedback!
Spend too much time trying to find some fun and discover what this game about... So yeah, wasn't very polished around the edges and not all things were made (like visible borders).
About counter didn't reset at the end - I was aware of it but you're first mentioned it. It means what you're the first one who tried to play it after game over screen :) Congratulations!
