Those puzzles were bloody solid. Really helps that the movement felt good due to the unique animation.

Honestly, take a look at Void Stranger (a steam game) if you ever feel inspired to expand on this concept. I think you should. We need more puzzler games that really get the noggin jogging and this one has potential.

Really lovely game! The mechanics are very simple yet the puzzles can get fairly complex in a good way. The music is great match for it too, nicely done!

Congrats on your submission!  Excellent puzzle game!  I think I beat the final board.  It didn't actually game over or leave the level, but I'm pretty sure I did it right.  I really liked how you introduced the different puzzle elements.

I really really loved this game, it's a fun puzzle game, I really enjoy spatial reasoning puzzles.

My only personal critique is that it seemed a lot of the levels were designed in a way that the solution seemed obvious as soon as I saw it, a lot of the 'wrong solutions' seemed placed there on purpose to look 'wrong'. The level this stands out in is the level that has two boxes blocking the way right at the start, with a channel at the top of the level where two boxes would fit. It was pretty obvious the boxes didn't go in there because you'd not have been able to turn around after pushing them in there, so these channels seemed superfluous. 

I loved the music and the animations are perfect for the simplicity of the sprites, you're tutorial levels teaching new mechanics were also very very welcome and showed me how certain objects would interact with each other without the risk of me getting it wrong or misunderstanding how those objects worked.

Thank you for playing! I totally agree with you, it was really hard to make interesting and hard puzzle levels, there'll be more focus on that for the next games.

Really great work. Definitely one of the funnest games of the Jam.

This was a clever puzzle game with a clever concept, a novel interpretation of the secondary theme, and some nice presentation as well. The game could benefit from more difficult puzzles and better music arrangement, but this is overall a quality entry for the jam.

Incredible, unique, and fun game, even for someone who doesn't like puzzlers. The presentation is great, too!

The music is unfortunately a tad loud. Had to lower my volume all the way, which sucks because it's well-composed too, sounds a bit baroque.

Amazing job!

Really cool puzzle and nice polished implementation!

That was fantastic! Inventive, pretty, and intuitive! I love how the filled-in space becomes indistinguishable from the terrain; it's almost chilling!

The audio is a tad loud; it exceeded +0.0 dB a couple of times.

Great work!
