Good news (or not because that symbolism won't be possible anymore haha), I have a after-jam patch ready on the hand that addresses not being able to kill droplets when you are too fast, along with some other changes. You can check out the changelog here: https://samethope.itch.io/storm-grill/devlog/803428/update-v080rc-v082rc
I am really happy to hear you enjoyed the game :)
