Hey, thank you for your detailed feedback! How did I completely miss the 9 lives joke???? I called the game 8 because I initially intended only 8 loops and then the game ended, but it became 8 objectives and clicks instead. I 100% agree that it should be quicker for a gamejam, I didn't consider this while making it, but realised pretty soon after that most people only play for a couple minutes and move on. I'll keep this in mind for next time!
Anyways, thank you for playing!
