I also enjoyed finding snippets of history that I wouldn't have found out about if I hadn't aimed to enter this jam, so I think we agree there! I like your take on the future that's been alluded to, and appreciate the extra thought you put into the meanings we couldn't quite flesh out within the game jam.
I very much agree with you on the dialogue not being super visible, but our dialogue system crashed on the last day, and we couldn't quite make the best/consistent choices for font color/style.
All the assets used were created during the jam by us! I'm glad you can appreciate the effort we put in, we couldn't quite manage to get the movement system to work.
I agree that the colliders could have been better as well. Dropping the water should have worked, but we tried to implement that during the last stages, so maybe it didn't stick? I'll have to look into that.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
