I thought the animations were quite nice. It was not clear to me that I needed to hit &quot;up&quot; to hit the button in the first minigame -- maybe I'm dense but it did take me a bit. Not a huge problem though. Regarding the music, if you don't create it yourselves during the Jam, you should be using music that is specifically licensed and made available for purposes like this: i.e. creative commons or public domain.
