i get stuck on the grass too easily: often, i can’t keep going in the direction when it looks like i should can. and once i found out how to win, the game became boring

Hi! Dev here!

Thanks for the feedback! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ Yes, there are some bugs. This mainly happened because after designing the map there was an issue with the player having the ability to break the boundaries. I had to therefore remap the entire thing within the jam's time frame, and didn't had the ability to fix some bugs I encountered. 

I understand that there are issues with the roads not being properly visible, that was something I learnt. Value your feedback and thanks for taking your time to post this!

I see. Thanks. This was my first time participating in a gamejam, but thanks for playing.
Appreciate it! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
(And yes, there are some bugs left to squish in the game)
(Also edit - this post was posted 2 days ago, I saw your message but couldn't react since my account was too new and Itch had put it for hold for sometime, preventing me from posting anything!)
I rated and played yours also!
