Thank you so much! We really appreciate the feedback.
Yeah, that's completely fair. Looking back, we definitely should've made it clearer which items were incorrect or given players better hints instead of making them guess. We also agree that we could've tied the theme into the gameplay more strongly.
This was our first game jam, and we learned a lot from it. We'll definitely keep your feedback in mind and make our next game much more intuitive and enjoyable.
Thanks again for playing and taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback! <3
