Insane amount of levels, fun concept, great style, one of my most favorites, great job!
Puzzles could be bit more challenging, i kept waiting for "oh no, it resets while i have that one fish left over there, i must think this through again" but nontheless i enjoyed it alot

Developer

Thanks so much! Yea if I had more time some of the later levels woulda had 1 or 2 less penguins to drop, but I'm glad ya enjoyed playing!

Simple, fun and pretty challenging. Never thought I'd see a "falling sand" puzzle game. Cool idea

Developer

Thank you! I never thought of it as a falling sand game, "Sugar, Sugar" was one of my favorites on Cool Math, and it'sa puzzle game too!

Hello fellow Pico-8 user!

Congratulations on your game, it's a very fun puzzle game!  You've done an amazing job and I'm impressed by the number of levels you've been able to design!

I would only suggest you expand your project page a bit to add information on how the day/night cycle works!

I hope you had a lot of fun developing your game.

Developer

Hell yea thanks! Designing the levels wasn't too bad, they're all built off of 8x8 sprites so I was able to make alot! 
You're game's cool too, glad to see another PICO-8 game in this jam! I'll update my project page too to help clarify some things.

Love the design and the puzzle elements, took me a little bit to "get it" once the cycles started but once it hit it was great.

Developer
