Completed the game in its entirety, and it all ran super smoothly! This was an incredibly creative way to implement the theme into the game, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The graphical and audio elements made everything clear as I played, and I had no confusion in what things did or weren't supposed to do!
There are a lot of great design features within this entry, and everything is introduced at a good pace with a great difficulty curve! I think a sound track would also help the game along, but for a first game jam, this was awesome! Amazing work! :D
