This is such a clever twist on the theme. The whole god-maintaining-control angle is funny. Love how the last line on the game over screen really ties the jam's theme together.
The art style is very charming and the music is oddly chill for how stressful it gets lol. I managed to subdue the defector in a permanent cloud-cage. Love the little character reactions too when they get blocked.
Fun concept, great vibe, and it's the kind of jam game that makes you go "ok one more try" immediately.
