Wow, thank you very much for that very in-depth analysis. Got (obviously) some amazing feedback here and a lot of these issues (sadly) we did ended up finding out too late in the making of this game. The balancing is really something we could have put a bit more time into. Always good to know for future events (especially in a gameplay like ours!) :D
I think we are going to release a post-jam update of this game and hopefully address most (if not all) of the issues that arose in your comment.
We really appreciate that you took the time to write such an amazingly detailed comment and are happy you got a little enjoyment out of our wonky gameplay here :)
