Thank you so much for the really kind comment! I'm glad that the game was pleasantly surprising. The idea to have it so that the player can't stop moving actually makes a lot of sense! It definitely would've made it more consistent with the theme too! I will probably use that idea when I make a lightly better version after the jam. I'll also fix the timer! I've seen a few comments that mention how that's broken, so, I'm going to make sure it get's fixed =)
I will also try to not talk myself down in future games like this! I know it's a really bad habit, so, I want to improve on that front as well :)
Once again, thank you so much for playing the game and giving feedback! I'll work to improve on the gear problem, and the timer issue when I make the after-jam update!
