I really appreciate that you wrote this and that you enjoyed the game! You can flip the left and right to grab objects with the WSAD controls. I'm an idiot and forgot to correct the controls for arrow keys.
I completely agree polish is what could have made this game a lot better. Especially making things clearer and with movement.
Also, a combo system is a great idea. I will make sure to add that and work on polish if I get around to doing a update.
Thanks for writing this review and I will definitely be in more game jams. :)
