Good job for a solo submission. Had some fun with this one.
I only wonder if you could have engage with the theme more. E.g. having the player have to choose when to get back out (recover) their loot rather than just pick it up and the more loot they had the harder it was to control. Maybe I thought of that because it reminded me of 'Tiger Tiger' Minigame from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that I have been playing recently.
