What a game! You NAILED the eerie vibe with the visuals, awesome sound effects, and controls. I noticed myself looking over my shoulder from time to time to avoid the sand worm, lol. The gameplay loop works really well, and you managed to cram in a lot of relevant content in here!
I feel like the game could benefit from having the controls explained a bit more, whether that's just a description on the itch page or a pop-up at the start. But then again, figuring out how to pick up rocks with the arm while a giant sand worm roared in the distance was really amusing. Great work!
