hello! i want to thank you so much for such indepth feedback, regardless of how incomplete the game was!
i want to confirm that yes i did have a very interesting puzzle mechanism for this game, but was not able to execute it in the given time with my experience with game jams.
this was my first game jam i ever submitted a game on, and so my flow was definitely not upto the mark (and on top of that, i used javascript for the first time on this very project, so the learning the new language was included in this time limit)
i have planned to finish this game (with the scope of the idea i had in my head for this game) by this or next week, and would be keen to see your response on the finished and polished idea once ive taken my time to make it
i am very grateful for such honest critiques (even down to the bit about the colors of the itch io page, i really appreciate such details <33) and have taken a lot from this feedback to use in future projects. thank you very much for your time!!
