I hadn't actually realized the strife my "Export as Installer" option would have on Linux users (or itch.io app users in general).  Here is a zip file, though I won't update my official submission until after the jam is over just in case that causes some rules technicality.

While I would love to be certain I won't bounce between money and gun stickers forever when I need something about humanity, I do legitimately think this is one of the most original games I've seen this year.  Very nice concept with just a few naggling mechanical issues.

An enjoyable little puzzler, I liked it a lot!

No it's absolutely the worst.  It made it in because reversing controls is relatively easy to implement, but even though I repeatedly buffed it to game-ending levels of dps, it still remains something I avoid.

But hey, my design document basically consisted of "let the player choose how absurd the mobility becomes", and Smooth Criminal exemplifies that to a very extreme degree.  I just couldn't refuse the incredible meme value.

Yeah, the art never really went past "engineering proof-of-concept" due to time constraints, but I'm still happy with how the mechanical side of the game came out.

Also fun fact, because the game was so engineer-focused, that naturally led to me having a bunch of numbers and boxes to toggle on for debugging.  At some point one of my friends toggled that on accidentally, said "wow I can see the code!", and immediately led me to featuring the debug mode as an upgrade!
