The game file size is super massive for a jam game! (300+mb)

Presentation is nice. UI is done pretty well.
Depending on what obstacles generate, you can start a game with an instant lose state. The game would have been quite a bit better with more of a top-down camera view. Sometimes (I think?) a magnet was used on me so that I just flat out died for no apparent reason because I couldn't see what the opponent was doing behind me. A button to instantly end the turn rather than needing to wait for the timer would have been nice.

Not gonna give you many points in innovation as you just copied the example that was given as the theme.

@Bamboy thanks for comment! Unfortunately the size is that big because i also included starter content and had no time to split assets that I wasn't using, sorry for that!

About magnet, yes it is overpowered and with the limited field of view of the camera it can be pretty annoying. Perhaps should be changed into something that moves you back by one field instead of crashing you this way. Or have better field of view :).

About the innovation, well I cannot see it being posted as any example, I started working on it just after getting the theme did not looked at any examples over net. Can you give me some link where you found similar/same game 'genre'?
