Incredibly unique take on the theme! Probably one of the most well-paced metroidvania games I've played in any jam. I think letting us know that we can stop the wheel ourselves was definitely the right choice, at several points there was only one creature type I wanted (and if I got another I had to find a spot to die :( ). Very effective use of minimal sound, especially loved it when the piano played back to you on a successful unlock.
Mostly unrelated but I spend most of the game wondering why the "big frog" got the small symbol and the "small frog" got a big symbol. It took me way too long to realize that the "big frog" is probably acually a mole(?).
Great work!
