Very interesting and weird sounding idea and I'd like to try it. However, I wasn't able to get past the title screen, tried very much everything.
Thanks for trying it! It might be a problem with the controller used. I used PS4 controllers when I made this game, with the 'x' key being the 'action' key. I was told xbox controllers didn't seem to work, but I haven't had a chance to validate that as I do not have an xbox controller available to me. Sorry for the hassle!
