The art is great! I also liked how you used the jam's theme here, very creative.
I hadn't heard of tardigrades before, so I actually learned something new playing, which really is cool! Making this an educational game like you mentioned on the Description could be pretty interesting. To be honest, I had a bit of a hard time playing the game AND reading all the pop-ups at the same time, but maybe some voice acting could help with that?
Cool game, thanks for sharing!
