Hey, thanks for playing - it sounds like the intended experience really made sense to you, I'm pleased to hear it. And doubly glad to serve as a first encounter with game poems -- there's some really interesting work in the form all over Itch, perhaps it's something up your alley for a future work too?
For sure! It's honestly great timing to get into the form -- the first Game Poems literary magazine came out just a couple months ago, which includes a good range of that kind of work: https://gamepoems.itch.io/game-poems-issue-1-first-moves. One of the editorial leads, Jordan Magnuson, also put out a book a few years ago on the topic, which is a great starting place too: https://www.gamepoemsbook.com/.
Honestly it's still a very fluid genre and there's a lot of folks on Itch putting stuff out in the process of figuring out it's constraints -- the "game-poems" tag on here is a great sampler too: https://itch.io/games/tag-game-poem.
