It was a lot of work, our wrists hurt after, and there's a lot about it we're dissatisfied with ... but damn, we made a game! We made a jam game! And it's fun!

Like, really, this is something we'd already figured out: our best shot at making something is to make something we'd want to play, and that's what this is: a game where you can turn the music off (it's in the pause menu, hit Enter or Esc) and occupy your eyes and fingers while a podcast happens.

And we'll go back to it, eventually, and add a tutorial and a music volume control and suchlike. But for now we're proud.
