Thanks for playing! Unfortunately it's a bit of an eternal cycle because it looks so polished because it's unfinished! I have a habit of polishing stuff before I move onto the next bit which ultimately lead me to running out of time.
I'm glad to hear you liked the animations! I'm surprised you liked the controls, I personally found them a little janky. Which controls did you like?
I agree with that order in theory, but my lack of discipline prevents me from following it in practice! I'm glad to hear you will follow it. Would you be interested in beta testing? There's also a gamejolt page, and Twitter!
Also, do you have any suggestions?
