Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I spent a lot of time thinking about the main mechanic — man, I poured so much time into just implementing everything that’s currently in the game. I was thinking about ways to add more complexity, and the idea you mentioned was actually on my mind, but I knew time was limited (we only had 4 days, after all). I had to prioritize finishing the game first before adding more complex layers.
I realized that a jam game like this would mostly be a one-time playthrough, but despite that, I really wanted players to feel the emotions I tried to put into it.
