Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I may not be one to eloquently talk about or discuss by development process, mainly because this being my first game, I very much winged it.
Most useful was help from a very talented friend Caeth, who helped me get used to Bitsy, and also introduced me to Andrew Yolland's awesome Borksy Game Hacker. With that tool, I was able to regularly and fairly simply export the game into a playable version complete with the hacks. Not quite as simple as playing in the Bitsy editor, but quick and easy playable versions with the hacks intact.
