Excellent game! I had Baba is You flashbacks. Especially lvl7 and 12 got my gears grinding.

I liked this, although I had a little trouble getting it at first. Difficult but fun!

I loved it.

Only issue I had was, as euclidean-whale also mentioned, that I felt like the punishment for making a mistake on the later levels of having to start completely over was to severe. I was about three moves from completion when I made a mistake and I didn't want to continue. I think a three strikes you're out kind of mehanic would have been great here. Or even collectable "lives" pickups throughout the levels might have been cool.

Level 7 broke my brain, but level 8 seemed more straightforward and fun. I didn't find 11 tedious. It was fun to figure out what to be done pretty immediately and just execute.

I took one look at 12 and thought maybe this isn't going to be fun. But then I sort of realized what was going on and thought that it definitely was going to be fun. And then I made a mistake and wasn't very motivated to continue.

Seems like a pretty unique puzzler though, and fits the theme really well.

Clean. Would be better with audio.

Very fun game with a unique mechanic! Took me a while to get through level 12 because I kept making silly mistakes but once I got the hang of it I breezed through it! Nothing could prepare me for level 13 though... :P Great game!

Loved it! Shame about the lack of audio and undo. Luckily I was careful not to mess-up during lvl 12 😁.

Awesome concept! Level 11 and 12 got rather tedious haha… But it was fun to solve the diverse puzzles created from a simple ruleset! Good game.

Thanks! Yeah the later levels can be kinda brutal, especially since you lose your progress if you hit a red square. I was hoping to add a few more mechanics like pushing blocks around and levels that invert the user input direction but I didn’t have the time.
