When the first time I played it, I was kind of confused and didn't understand the purpose of the resets. But when I saw Outer Wilds mentioned in the comments, I suddenly understand what the resets meam! So I reopened the web and played it all the way through. The level design is excellent, and the art and music are perfect! I feel this is the best game I've played so far in this game jam

I'm glad that hearing about the Outer Wilds similarities brought you back into it. It's how I can quickly make the game make sense to others i've found out. I'm not entirely sure how I can alleviate this problem, since Outer Wilds even has it a bit with people often wondering what the heck they are supposed to be doing early on. Maybe I could make a larger hook right away to get to the upper door.
