this was a lot of fun! i really loved your worldbuilding details and the writing.
it was a bit mean to make me relive the terror of kicking around a ball and failing at it repeatedly while the person i was playing with kept trying to make it easier for me hahaha -- i think the hitbox could be increased a bit upwards to make this a smoother experience.
my only other note is that i wish there was a restart button for the puzzle where you move the crates. i softlocked myself by accidentally pushing one against the back wall and needed to restart.
