Love the art, the audio, the mechanics, very well polished, fun to play. It also hit close to home, my mum is a tailor (now retired), and I grew up in her sewing lab, cleaning and oiling my mum sewing machines since I was a "wee lad" of 6/7 years old. A suggestion about the controls, to emulate the gesture of sewing on a machine you could change the keys to something like F, and J, and when you keep them both pressed (using both hands) the movement is straight and when you lift F the movement goes to the left vice versa with J, somewhat of inverted controls. Just a weird idea to convey the gesture of using a sewing machine. Great game, one of my favourite in the jam.

That's awesome. My partner is big into sewing which helped lead me to this concept! And I do like that idea, no idea how well it would have worked since some of the people I watched play my game even struggled with the current controls and they are already fairly basic. I was honestly hoping to have time to make it even more simplified for controls but add in different sewing elements like thread clogs, and obstacles that popped up to slow the player down a bit.
