Thanks so much for playing! Would have been interesting to see your interpretation of the subject. Maybe next time!

Well I've put it on my list for ideas not to forget about :)
I think doing it as a vertical scroller like you did was a really smart idea because it always means you have a continuous source of things for the player to do, whereas if you had a static map to explore you might accidentally go to an empty region and run out of time.
