You have made a lot of characters for the jam time! My apologies if my first comment made the opposite impression.
Thank you for sharing the inspiration behind it. I understand now what the idea is.
What I mean is that at the beginning I picked only a few characters. Then the comment from God (:D if only the communication would be that easy) was that there's a lot of invitations left so I understood that I can select one character more than once. Because the characters repeat so much and there are so many invitations it broke the immersion for me. Initially it seemed like a busy street but then it is just flat 2d images going from side to side. Does that make sense? My personal opinion (which you can ignore, up to you) is that it would be more interesting to reduce the time per round (from 2 and a half minutes) and have characters "walk" from side to side once per round. That would be more engaging maybe.
Thank you for reading. I wish you a bright day.
