Great idea and goes with the jam's theme! However, the execution on the gamplay didn't quite work out as all I had to do was set the mouse off to one corner of the room. More spastic movement patterns could have done the trick.
Definitely agree with your assessment. In its current state, the game just isn't fun to play -- too many bugs and no playtesting can do that haha. We're going to take some time after the jam concludes to work on making it what we wanted.
