I admire this. See, my entry is a wannabe platformer/run n gun, so nothing innovative in fact my goal with this jam was to learn how to develop a game and be able to submit something working on time. Hopefully next time I'll be more experienced and will be able to focus on nice game ideas like you did! Keep it up!
I always think the key to participating in a game jam is to pick the one thing you want to accomplish (within the rules of the jam) and just do that thing. If you feel like you learned something, then you totally succeeded in your goals when you hit that submit button. If you have the same goals next time, that's fine too! I'll be dropping in on your jam submission page soon :)
