The amount of polish for this game is amazing considering the time limit. I will say I understood I needed to place a node but took me longer than it should to realize spacebar dropped a node. It felt the game took a bit too long to make meaningful progress, from upgrading to killing. And at one point, I didn't have enough nodes to progress any further without my tether freaking out so I had to give up there.
Besides that, from the concept to presentation to gameplay to art, the production value of this game is amazing and is an awesome way of implementing the themes. Very well done!
