Hi, it's been a while but I finally completed this game. A significantly expanded version of the game is live here which I made for this year's GDTV Game Jam:

It's still a relatively simple jam game but reworking it for the next jam was a great learning experience and hopefully you'll find it fun and/or interesting.
