The side collection mechanic is just an optional collectable meant to increase the difficulty a little (think of Celeste, for example). We thought of some more uses for it, in a meta gameplay flow, but we knew it was impossible to implement for the jam, so it’s something we would create for a (possible) bigger version.

Yeah, overall, the game is easy! We like to create more relaxing experiences, so we normally make it very easy then scale the difficulty slowly. The thing is we didn’t have enough time to create more challenging levels, so it ended still very easy. We have 15 levels ready to implement, but the time was not forgiving with our slow pace.

That was our approach to make it easier to predict and calculate when you are going to “land” on a correct win state at the end. Something that other similar games (in my opinion) struggled with: very hard to make simple levels because of this natural complexity.
And thanks a lot for playing plus the feedback! Really appreciate it and will take these in mind in case we develop this game further :)
