Great game! The gameplay loop is simple yet satisfying and nothing seems to complicated or hard to understand.
I'm not going to beat a dead horse but there is room to improve visually but with all of the VFX in the game, I think it helps it from looking totally boring so that's definitely a plus.
I think the audio mixing could use a little bit of work, I think the music is a too overpowering in contrast to all the other audio, so maybe have that tweaked or even options for audio in general could be great! (I know that is asking a lot for a game jam but just throwing it out there.) I did rather enjoy the music, it was really good, I just think it could be a tad quieter.
I do like how you tried to think outside the box with the theme but I do think it kinda strays a bit too far, where it's striving for a different thing entirely, but I always love trying to think of unique takes on the theming so I won't be too harsh on you there. All in all I really had a good time with this entry and you did a great job!
