Favorite game of the jam so far! This was really fun, and sometimes frustrating (in a good way), to finish. I have only reached one of the endings so far, but i plan to come back to this and finish the other ending another day. I really liked the challenge of this puzzle, and the added time pressure from the work/break cycle. The hardest part for me is it tool 3 cycles to figure out how to do the wall jump correctly, but once I figured it out it was easy to repeat, so that made up for the frustration of figuring it out. Loved the simple artwork, music and sounds were great, and the story/theme itself was really fun. Great work.
