Thanks for playing and for the kind words! Yeah, I definitely feel like there could be a better way to communicate the clover mechanic to the player. I would have loved to add a short animation illustrating the effects and include more sprite animations around the "pull" action, but I was pressed for time and pixel art is my weakest area at the moment.
The idea of having pickups instead of pulls is something worth exploring. If I went that route, I might iterate on the level design and movement a bit more.
