Heh, maybe your subconciousness became alive while you developed the game. :) It's a wonderful thing, though. I'm a big fan of it myself, so I was super happy about that (regardless if it was intended or not). <3
And don't worry about the slider levels. It's nothing that damaged the experience itself - it's still a wonderful jam game, and one should experiment a bit in jams, so it's all fine. :)
