Thanks :)
Yeah, I've since learned how to do pico8 animations in a way that prevents the glitching sprite animations. In pico 8, animations are notoriously quirky. Sadly not in time to update for the jam but I really like the concept of this game and want to work on a more fleshed out version when I get the time.
I tried running your game but couldn't get it to load. It's an issue with my hardware not your software. I'll be sure to check it out when I get back to my PC :)
