Very moody!\n\nFor my personal taste it's a bit hard to really engage in a story in a jam game, it's just not my thing. So I'll just skip giving feedback on that. \n\nI felt like the controls were a bit strange. The hammer UI should probably have been furthest to the right (since 5 equipped it). In my first play through I never realised I could unequip all \"summons\" with right click (not just the hammer) so maybe that could be updated on the itch page. I think it would be really nice if you could swap equipped by pressing a new one, that is if you had the wall equipped and pressed 3 in would just equip the barb wire. And, obviously this is a bit nit-picky but I think enter\/space\/left click to continue would be better.\n\nThe collision where a bit hard to understand, maybe it would be a good idea to actually draw them out (that is an actual square around the animations). I placed the '4' in front of the fugitive, but I guess it caught to foot of someone above and that failed me. \n\nI liked that you had the sounds that you had, but I feel it could me nice to add a \"plop\" when placing a obstacle and \"tick\" \"clack\" when equipping\/ unequipping. \n\nI think it was good that you allowed me to just quickly try again. It didn't feel too punishing failing, so that's good! I really liked the music, it matched the gray, doomy atmosphere. \n\nWell done, nice that you joined the jam!
