Wow, this is similar to the idea I had, but you executed it MUCH better than I was able to. Well done.
I just wish there was a Retry button. When I die I want to try again but the only option I saw was esc to exit the game.
Not enough time when I do the jam :sad:
yeah I know the feeling ^^
Now you have it: The retry button!
P.S. Check out that bonus hint on "Congratulations!" screen :)
