Very addictive I played for ages trying to beat it. A few quality of life things though: it may not seem like it but moving between each area instantly would be a massive help maybe if the game were 1st person and you simply clicked where you want interact with (also would save time with sprite you mentioned you we're working on aspects of game dev you are uncomfortable with so avoiding unnecessary art can help especially on a deadline); keyboard shortcuts - clicking can be tedious and arrow key movement as well as enter to progress text and space to select and deselect the tool would have been welcome changes. Overall fun game just missing a few small quality of life changes that make playing really tedious.
I guess now is when I ask you to play my game?... please do its always appreciated.
