We chose the states of Bloof to be the thing "out of control" for the jam theme. Personally, I agree that it would be better to be changed at will. But this was our take for the theme. We thought that "out of control" is a hard theme when it comes to gameplay purposes, since the player actually wants to control the most, but we went that way instead of it just being a part of the narrative.
Thank you! I will check your game and rate it as well.
