Very enjoyable game, love the idea and execution.
I did struggle a little with the gamepad controls but I think this mainly comes down to the UI showing a more general (north,east,south,west) button, rather than a gamepad specific one, but honestly I think this would be something that could be easily solved by having it detect which controller the player is using (and is something I wouldn't expect during a game jam anyways)
Great job though and congrats on the game.
