The awesome mood kept me interested through the learning curve. This was the most immersive game I've played yet from this jam. One note, I did have the unity web player crash about 7 minutes into the game. Besides that, I really enjoyed my experience with this game.

Sound was excellent, with great mood and relaxing. It is hard to control at the beginning, but it keeps the player engaged.
