I think all the art went where it matters and that's in the middle of the screen. I think if more time was spent on the background, the game would of suffered greatly under this timeline for the GameJam. Picked the right things on the list to get right. The animation is beautiful, you aren't rewarded for spamming clicks, you really need to feel it out, and when you do it's so rewarding. Super Fun, and greatly inspired!
