Thanks for playing and rating our game!\n\nThe number was a feature that was designed to [REDACTED], and I'm glad everyone [REDACTED]. \n\nWe did want to include a timer, but it wasn't in our SRD, and we didn't have time to get to it. We tried to be pretty strict with that so we could be more-done by the deadline. \n\nWe originally had a ton of cubes, but reduced their numbers by increasing their size for aesthetic purposes. A feature to increase their numbers could have been cool, but it wasn't in the SRD. \n\nI think I covered the feedback and I'm glad everyone sounded like they enjoyed themselves. Good luck out there to all my fellow jammers!
