Nice work, great proof of concept to give the idea of UI / look & feel of the game. It's a game jam entry, so issues like balance are not really a concern (and if it was to be made difficult, would definitely need a tutorial, which you would not have had time to add). There are many directions this could go, depending of where you want to take it. The pseudo 3D rendering was a a nice touch, once I realised I could pan!

Yeah, definitely, a classic case of "I wish I had just a little more time... and then a little more on top of that" haha. Glad you liked it, sorry the panning wasn't clear (at all), in coming jams I'm gonna try to be a bit more efficient, lol! The UI library I used was something I was already working on, maybe I should make some libraries for general software and games making, to make jams a little easier.
That's very fair. I did try Nuitka, unfortunately it required that Windows SDK be installed in my Visual Studio... even though it was. The classic problem, lol. I have since tried "pyinstaller" and I can say that I can now provide an .exe file. I've updated the provided files, and the Executable download is an archive with an .exe file!
I hope you re-try!
