Hi D,
Thank you so much for your wonderful message!
First of all, please don't thank me for hosting. A game jam is nothing without the passionate creators who take the leap and submit their work. I am the one who should be deeply grateful to you and everyone else for bringing this jam to life with such amazing energy!
What you mentioned about developing from memory without checking YouTube is incredibly fascinating. Actually, I have the exact same philosophy! I always believe there's no point in making something identical to what already exists. When I create something inspired by an old classic, I purposefully rely only on my own memories.
The fact that your lanes are built backwards or the doors are on the opposite side isn't a defect at all—it's a beautiful feature! Those exact variations are what give a game its unique personality and creative charm. Your vague childhood memories created a brand new, wonderful experience.
Thank you again for joining the jam and sharing such a lovely, nostalgic game. I truly had a blast playing it! 🙂
Kind regards,
Michyo
