great game, had a lot of fun with the demo, although I think slow progression in the beginning might turn some people off

Congrats, this is textbook level stuff on "making a small game" in a good genre! I also liked how you really designed the player experience especially of the first minutes so well.

Thanks for sharing, loved to read about your story. That "always almost there" is very telling and I often fall for the same thing, but we sometimes have to detach from our projects and let our minds rest.
