Thank you so much for that criticism! it was muchly apricated... We were originally going to go with the idea you presented, (I talk more in depth about it in the Devlog I'm making on YouTube). Unfortunately, the last Brackeys Gamejam we made, was that style of game, as presented below.
So, we didn't really want to redo an already "done" idea... But I'm so glad that someone else thought the same. The game is honestly a big mess right now! but we have full plans to fix all bugs and release the game fully... the feedback will be taken into full consideration!
