Such a creative idea, I don't think I've seen anything like it! It was really funny that everything kept updating even though it was strewn all over the place. The foundation you've made here is super solid, sells the concept well and hints at plenty of ways it could be built upon. I think the music and pixel art were super serviceable, I don't think I could have made anything anywhere near as good on a first run! I can see you've talked to a bunch of other commenters about various balancing tweaks - I don't think there's anything else left to say on that front really, just "Great work, this was fun to play!"
