Is this a test? Like are you trying to test how high can you go with game, that has beautiful graphics (the shader is just delicious!), relaxing music, day-night cycle, a minigame, that's more engaging than the actual game.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the prettiest game in the whole jam. Sounds great too!
Seriously, am I playing this wrong? Is there more to it than swimming in circle? Is there something that happens after 500 rounds? Because Im willing to place something heavy on the keyboard to find out :)
Over all... if there was a reward for MOST CONFLICTING FEELINGS you would just get it now!
