Awww thank you so much! Seriously you are very very kind, and I'm really glad you enjoyed my game. I'll make it my goal to participate in more game jams and start pushing projects here in itch.io .. this experience really hyped me up, and your comments made it even better :)
Also, congrats on your placement! definitely knew I'd see you at the top (:< hope to see you in another future game jam (or playing one of your games as a full-fledged published project someday!!)
