Thank you for the feedback!
Most of the items on your list are also on my "If we finish the tower before 3 hours left" list. The menus, background music, better boundaries to the second area, All things I knew I should do but fell short on time. Control prompts are something I'm wanting to add as I update after the jam. I considered them and know where right now I would add them but that will have to wait for now...
Again, Thank you so much for taking the time to play!
