Thank you for playing! I'll try to address each point I haven't done before. A buffer zone is probably a good idea, I had some trouble when it hit the edges as well haha. I actually encountered the hitbox problems that some other people mentioned had and thought I fixed it. Turns out I had to increase the size of the game on the itch page since I was usually testing in full screen mode. The blue outline disappearing slowly is also a good idea, I'll try to add that in when the jam ends.
