I am coming back to say: The game does run! I did indeed have to be very -- very patient! :D The game is amazing. I love it. I had a very similiar idea for my game in this jam!
IF you're a judge out there, be patient! It loads! :D

hey, thanks a ton for the feedback! somehow i missed the super long gray screen when uploading to itch since it didn't happen in my editor. but i guess i was super sleep deprived last night lol
i don't know if it will fix the long load times you had, but the game is severely smaller in filesize now, and i added a load screen so you can at least see the progress instead of wondering when the game will start. hope this improves the experience and good luck in the jam!
