The timing being as loose as it is likely could be tweaked - I ended up making the window of opportunity bigger after having to cut settings at the last minute. I really wanted to lean into the vibe and rule of cool, and it's great to hear that paid off well!
The soundtrack for both sections of the game loop utterly rocks - the composers did such an awesome job, and them joining what was originally a solo project really elevated this game for sure. I don't think it would have turned out as well without either of them.
Thank you for playing! A full release is definitely something I am considering.
