Very exciting to see! I wonder why the throttling is so imprecise in this test-hop. I would've assumed that having small nozzles and a compact design like this would make it easier to control. This is all just speculation, ofc. but maybe the engines are made to perform better with heavier loads than this proof of concept design. Hopefully, Everyday astronaut will visit them again one day to ask more questions about all the progress they've made.
