Thanks, that's definitely a fair criticism. I'm a big fan of open exploration games but the time crunch here, plus the two under two kids I'm parenting at the moment, made this essentially linear, and thus that much less frustration tolerant. I'm not sure whether I'll do another jam, but I really have appreciated the sense of camaraderie with all the other developers. This is the most wholesome the internet has been for me in a long time.
Enjoyed Jansson too, by the way! I'd say you guys are pretty easily among the top 3 in the 3D category.
