This is such a great game especially considering you're a beginner to coding and game jams! The art style is super cute, which definitely adds to the project since you created it yourself. While playing the game, I did think it was quite technically impressive: Pygame can be hard to work with sometimes, so many of the gameplay aspects made me wonder how they were made using that library. I really liked the "swiping" control scheme: this is exactly the type of innovative controls that we envisioned when we created this jam.
I think the main area for improvement is Polish and the length of the game. I did run into one crash, but it's forgivable since it's ✨Pygame✨. There is only one level, which makes the game short but sweet. Nicely done!
