This was a great experience! For a game jam game, I think that says a lot. I loved all the characters, and enjoyed finding all the funny ways to loop back around.
Very cool idea! Once I got the hang of the controls it was pretty effortless to move the cursor around. I would love to see how this could be expanded. As it stands, you can just keep exploring until you find the exit. I'm not sure what the appropriate constraint would be, but it's also just fun to explore.
Wow! Thank you so much for both playing and commenting!
I definitely locked myself out of a lot of smarter mechanics early in development with some poor decisions. The placement rules, the permadeath, and the placement pains are pretty much direct results of that. I'm a novice programmer and I had never taken a product to the polish phase before, so I left a lot of time for that (hence the visual effects) and let the gameplay languish a bit.
