I love climate randomness, I really do. Even more so when it gets dark and it rains, very good, good thunderstorms. The sound is really good. I think he used the theme well, the space is really tight and the thorns cause permanent discomfort, it's well done. My only criticism is that the game over is very sudden, as already mentioned here. It's really not possible to understand exactly what is happening to death. I also found it a little too dark and the path a bit like a maze. To get around this, there could be more things to interact with. But within the jam time it's really quite an achievement.
