I also use Aseprite! It's fantastic, was the popping color effect using the base aseprite or was it with an extension? i found one on itch that had neon effects and I'm really hyped to use it eventually.
And I got you, we had short time for sounds and tracks too, we were able to put some, but it's in the plans to update it! Sometimes even if you have a month life happens and there's always something that you could have polished or implemented on a game jam project, I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to put but couldn't haha
Dang, that problem makes sense! Will you make the scale effect in another way then maybe?
You're welcome! I would love to play again to see the finished product, it has potential! If you do update it could you please notify me? If you remember?
