Thanks for your detailed comment, you're really helping us by describing your gameplay and we couldn't appreciate it more!
Regarding the UI, we'd need to fix it in a way that doesn't make you throw away your first game ^^" We already wanted to add a proper in-game tutorial on controls, but - as you know - time in the game jams is never enough, and we needed to focus on something else...
Anyway, happy to know that the game worked well afterwards, and congratulations for your winning :D
