Took me a while to figure some things out but I did manage to finish it.
I agree with other commenters on the controls. The movement especially was a bit cumbersome and would have benefited from a traditional wasd style movement scheme. I didn't have problems with the chopping personally so I don't have much to say on that.
I really like the way you incorporated the shifting realities theme but I feel like the spring part of the jam theme isn't as present here.
I didn't encounter many noticeable bugs other than the deposit issue already mentioned so I think it was well polished in that regard.
Overall I enjoyed my time with it and it's really a shame that more haven't played and rated it yet.
