Great game, I wasn't very good at it but I had fun, here's a video:
Thanks so much for playing! I really loved seeing someone play my game and see how you deal with the mechanics but be able to progress. You're totally right by saying that people won't see the whole game and all mechanics because of the difficulty, and you also totally saw that I made it difficult to give it longevity. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the video!
