Thank you for your feedback, Sanjuro
I totally agree with the background being too messy and/or not really coherent on some spots. It's mostly due to time (and one of our developers dropping out mid-jam) that we could only make the levels work in the last couple of days. The levels are actually all build the last day before the deadline ^^
And it's by design that you will restart the whole game ... but it's a bug that you keep the gathered items. They should've been reset properly. Will fix that in a new version.
