I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Totally agree about the messages. At the end of the jam I was so drained by the debugging of the rigid bodies and so uncertain about whether the levels were fun at all, that I kind of gave up on improving stuff. Especially, if it meant messing with any of the rules.
But now that I've seen people enjoy the game, I feel motivated to add a "press X to talk" mechanic.
