Nice, unique idea for a first jam. I had fun reading through the essays and spotting the mistakes. Some of the stuff the kids wrote genuinely made me laugh. “They would eat the gold!?” lol. That kind of humor really carried it.
I also liked the addition of the little sprites related to the topic, interfering with your proofreading. It added some pressure and kept it from just being static text on a screen.
Creative concept and well executed for a first jam. Nice job!
