lol I didnt even think of the backwards controls. Im screenshotting this as I feel like a lot of common sense goes out the window when I am the only one looking at a project the whole time haha. Thank you for the feedback!
There was a plan to have the pattern show up somewhere but the game was "functional" and everything at 2am the day of the game jam so I just called it there. I do agree that that would be a nice feature to help things make a little more sense.
