I. Have. Dedication.
Wow! This was a great experience! The sound was incredible, and the "story" / messaging was actually pretty awesome - as game devs, dedication matters more than anything else. And I did make it to the end, which I'm very proud of!
As far as feedback, I don't quite see the tie to the Jam's theme. I know you mention it in the narration... but it feels like a bit of a stretch... Also, the red color was kind of hard to tell apart from the pink color sometimes, which wasn't a huge deal, just a slight color tweak would fix that one.
I really loved the game. In fact this is my favorite game from the Jam so far, and the one I've spent the most time with too. I quite like the format, and the controls felt good as I got better with them and learned what I can do. I have a bumper sticker on my car that features a shirtless man in a cast-iron kettle holding a sledge hammer, if that tells you anything...
