Really nice idea but i found the movement a little frustating. I think a selection box on either the dolls or the ground or perhaps a ghost of the doll that will be placed when undoing would help plan moves. For some reason I had a hard time remembering that the bigger doll would move on right click rather than depositing the smaller one.
Very nice entry with plenty of potential. If you added some animations it would make a perfect mobile puzzler. The move limit was a little frustrating due to it immediately restarting the level. If you implemented it instead as a "par" system it would be less frustrating and let people explore different solutions without fear of being optimal. Art was cute and communicated what you needed to do. Good work!
A really cool and fun puzzle game! I wish there were some simple animations maybe, but the puzzle design is really solid. Great job!
Thank you for the feedback. I completely agree that animations are necessary. I have actually already added them to the game post jam. It really does make the movement a lot more intuitive.
Great idea, first time I saw this one on the jam, but it makes a lot of sense for the theme. Makes for an amazing puzzler, really nice job!
Very cool! Interesting interpretation of the theme! The music omg I loved it and just sat and listened to it for a while! I love the puzzles and you increased the difficulty very well. Great job!
I love the Idea! its like a different version of hanoi towers I think it could work better without the turn count ? Good job!
Real strong presentation. I've seen this idea a couple of times though, but this was still a great execution of it.
Cool puzzle game with the theme implemented in an original way!
Hi! Cool mechanic and nice puzzles! Really cool take on the theme!
The gameplay reminded me a lot of the Hanoi Towers :) Good concept and nice execution, but it took me a minute to figure out how to right-mouse click works.
Top notch. Took me a minute to win, but it was cool.
I like the concept of the russian dolls to fit the theme! The music was really fittings as well. Great Job!
The controls seemed unresponsive on my end. Neat concept though!

Good
This game was very relaxing, and I liked the concept. I loved the puzzles because they were the perfect difficulty. Great game!
At first, the game seems simple enough but it has a high level of complexity! Excellent job on the puzzle!
Quite original idea and interesting puzzles! Lends itself to being reworked as a full-blown game
Wow, thanks for the kind words.
Fun game!
