My first ever Game Jam submission! I'm super proud of it but I wasn't expecting the clarity that comes after a game jam is complete

What went wrong?

Well that's a loaded question, lots did and yet also not as much as I thought would go wrong. I don't feel like I spent enough time playtesting or confirming the idea, especially as the end of the jam came up I feel like I rushed to get my visualized product completed without actually confirming if that idea actually worked. Thankfully I think it DOES work, it just could be better.

What can I do better?

ORGANIZE ORGANIZE ORGANIZE! To all my other first time jammers! I can't stress this enough! Please spend some time before starting your project to actually organize your ideas! Journals and notebooks are fantastic! Don't spend too long on it but create a basic flowchart! It'll help so much in the future!

Thanks again to everyone who played and rated my game! I don't know if I'll come back to it in the future as I like to leave my projects untouched so that they remain a product of the time crunch but if people really like the idea of this game I'll give it a shot!

Here's to next year!
