To be honest, I was just as confused during writing, but I decided to let the subconscious do its thing. Perfectionism has led me to burnout in the first place, so I tried to switch the focus from the result to the process, and it was fun. Thanks for the kind words.

A nice, simple game that starts off as unintuitive but rewards mastery once you get a hang of it. Putting everything behind a single button is an interesting decision too—feels like I'm entering Morse code, but with beans.
The only real concern is the lack of connection with the theme. While the setting is charming, it feels like the beans could be replaced by any other item. There's no distinct thematic or gameplay connection with them.
Other than that, a nice entry. Already getting the urge to reattempt the boss battle.
