Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!
It's definitely a narrative reflecting my personal experience: not only do I hate how much time I tend to lose to scrolling, I also can't stand the pointlessness of most things you encounter while scrolling (hence the dialogs like "Which Kar-Jenner are you?"). But what is an even stronger feeling for me is that I have recently been experiencing a lot of nostalgia for my childhood, teenage and young adult years - not because I actually want to be younger again, but because I miss that feeling of having to figure out what to do with my days and not have this default device to go to that can swallow entire days of my life. So for that reason, I am really happy to hear that those levels actually hit harder for you.
Regarding the game design: I actually agree that the levels would have been better as mazes. I had originally pictured them as such (I had previously made maze levels in bitsy), but I really wanted the level to happen within the phone screen, which meant I limited myself space-wise even more than the already small levels of the bitsy editor. I love the idea that the exit marker could look more like the other sprites in the phone levels. I think I might definitely experiment with evolving this game further.
