Thank you for playing and the feedback :) Yep actually we have some couple ideas to improve the game progression, (add countdowns, leaderboard, or maybe pickups) we might try out some stuff when the jam is over ;D
Countdowns are a way of solving this, but it could also easily ruin the whole thing. Maby it's just my personal preference, but I enjoy games like this way more, when I'm not on a timer.
