Really innovative spin on the general premise! Map scrolling was pretty unexpected and fun to play with. Also nice to have the game have deterministic basic mechanics so that "undo"-ing repeatedly, although I ended up abusing it to "check" what was off the bottom of the screen sometimes before I figured out how that all worked.
