congratulations on your first solo jam entry!!
the lockpick being used as a maintenance item is generally a cool idea imo and this is no exception, juggling it and the wheel while trying to kite things is a cool base for a gameplay loop.
naturally sounds would go a long way here, i'm also pretty bad about considering how sounds get designed into the game but I think having placeholders asap is a good strat that I'm going to try next jam...
