What a strange, unique and intriguing idea! Beautifully presented, controls well, and fun to get into (although quite a niche audience would appreciate it I imagine).
I think it could do with a couple of things - clarity in what the buttons do (eg having a tooltip pop up) and an in-game version of the tutorial GIFs you provided would be great - perhaps even a simple walkthrough with your first restoration. Understandable that neither of these were possible either due to the resolution or the time constraints - the game is very deep so I imagine it took a lot of dev time already - but would be nifty additions to an updated version.
But they are minor problems on a stellar Jam entry. Unlike anything I've ever played, and excellently made. A lot of fun too. Superb job!
