Hey, thank you for comments about the game! I can really tell it took some time to get a hang of the mechanics - you're not the only one who didn't fully get the compass mechanics either. Watching you move right through the treasure area and not once using the compass when you're there hurts. But that's my fault for making an esoteric game.
I might subscribe if you manage to get a win in the game ;)
(using the compass on the marked spot with all the particles, then returning home without dying)
