Ok, ok, you caught me. I've stayed up a goooood four hours past my intended sleep time. BUT, I have one completed level. All mechanics work. I even have a primitive intro to the game.

Fingers crossed, as I have several long dayjob work days ahead of me, but I think I can focus on art and level design now. Ideally I'd like for every level to have its own background, and maybe its own reskins for the obstacles. We'll see how the time goes. I simultaneously feel like I'm reaching too far AND that I'm doing way better than the last jam. Just gonna come down to how the time works out. And no one said backgrounds couldn't be totally abstract or whatever.
