We’re all thrilled you liked the atmosphere! we settled on the synth neon early. We’re hearing the comments and working on a hot-fix patch for the major issues so everyone can play a less soft-locking build after they play the jam version 😅
Another thought is to take a look at the game 'Magnetic: Cage Closed' as a comparison, as it has a very similar core mechanic, to see what you want to do differently (or the same).
