Hi ColorPalette!
Very interesting read! it is great to know more about the motivation, the creative and technical process of other developers during November. I had a similar experience during the last days before the submission deadline.
Thanks for sharing, it will encourage me to invest sometime and write a postmortem or development journey about my game, something I believe will be valuable in future projects.
Here is my game, if you want to take a look: MoonHop
PS: I just had played yours and had a blast! Amazing job!
