For whatever reason, the logic for tiles swapping is just not connecting in our head. Still, this is a really clever puzzle game! The "doo~doooo~doo~duuuuu" of the you lose flute will haunt our dreams now.

The game was a bit confusing at first, but I quite liked it when I got it.
Having different tiles interact differently was a nice thing. I wish the next state of the map was kind of hinted or something to allow planning instead of trial and error. Although, The guessing is not too bad though.
I liked different sound effects for completing and losing the level.
Overall, nice job!
Definitely seems like a good mechanic for a puzzle game. Agree with others that it could have been more clear how everything was moving around, but then would it be less out of control? Hard to say. I think outside the context of the game jam, making the mechanics more clear would definitely help!
Interesting concept for a puzzler, the biggest problem I had was just figuring out the rules for the games. If you coudl have visualized how things moved around I think it would have been easied to get into.
I think I would have like to see some simpler levels that have a more narrow focus on only a few objects, avoid of trees on the sides getting mixed in.
Really interesting idea! It felt really confusing until I figured out how the tile shifting worked. I couldn't figure out how to test levels in the editor, but it's still a really cool inclusion nonetheless.
