Hey man I tried out the updated version!
I like the new model additions of the textbooks and mugs. I also really like how the border is now tape that has little folds and torn parts, adds exactly the sort of feeling I was talking about.
It was also nice having the variety of cars, the exposed circuit board was my favourite, gives a certain low budget charm like it was made in some after school robot club or something similar.
Also noticed the pixel filter is gone, makes it less retro but I'm not sure thats even a problem if you keep trying to nail the look of the levels.
Nice update man, I look forward to more!
Also if you're interested I recently made a small update to my submission for this jam (plug, plug) though compared to what you've done its a fairly minor update.
