555MB! 1.13 GB unzipped! That's crazy.
Anyways. It's unfortunate you didn't have time to flesh out your idea. Hopefully you can do a post-mortem!
Not sure why you couldn't go to the right, or why the programming pickups were seemingly infinite. I think the loop mechanic would be cool if you expanded on it more!

Hi,
It was on design that the controls would appear little by little, I had a feature in mind to expose this better at the begining of each level... But it was too long for little reward (or so I thought).
As for the file size: it's my first game jam with unreal, so this is typically somewhere where I'm very unexperienced, and did not take the time to optimize the build size. Would you have any tips regarding reducing the packaged size of the game ?
Anyhow, thanks so much for taking the time to comment :)
Unfortunately I have zero experience with unreal, sorry! From what I've seen, crazy size can come from uncompressed assets or pre-compiled packages so maybe unreal automatically includes extra binaries you wouldn't otherwise need.
It's really cool you were experimenting with a new engine for the jam though- props for that.
