trying to softlock the game is an awesome idea! These are pretty tricky puzzles too, very fun
I just wanted to say out of all the games I've recently seen this is by far the best.
I NEED A LEVEL EDITOR FOR THIS WE ALL NEED IT.
I finished the while game and I love it and so does my whole cave family ♡
We of the cave family full heartedly love this game
Thank you 🥹
will grelbo body pillow be available?
We're working on a way to transport them while maintaining proper moisture.
what is the current size? Also can we get different poses? I wanna see my Boi at his best angles 😩
We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game! As for the level editor, since the levels are written as text files, we could release an update that allows loading custom-level files (at the user's discretion) once the voting period for the game jam concludes.
Omg please we need level editor!! Full heartedly will support further updates ◇
Really great game ! Very good take on the theme, i ended up being stuck on the level 10 because of my tiny brain, but i really enjoyed your game, very well done !
This is so tough. I loved playing this(and failing at it). Really love the design, specially the winning screen where you are prevented to go to the next level because you won instead of losing. Great job!
I'm in love with the humor for this game!! The sounds are hilarious and the rap omg haha.
This game is amazing, its really polished, and when it comes to normal games I quite often make the puzzle impossible on accident, so to do it on purpose I've finally found my calling, great game idea and execution
Awesome colour scheme. For me the main menu showed up aligned to the top left corner, would be nice if it was centered. Gameplay animations are smooth and well executed. Would be nice if the game objects had more colors contrasting the environment.
this game made me grelbophobic
Just 100%'ed the game and it was amazing! Puzzle design was really elegant, I feel like you explored a great amount of possibility space. My only nitpick is there was no undo. Also presentation is very nice too. Overall, great job!
p.s. I added this to my public collection for this jam's sokoban related games, and there are really interesting interpretations of the theme
Would you mind posting a link to that collection? I’d also be interested to see the other takes on box-pushing puzzles this jam!

This is what I could find so far, you can contact me in any way if you find more of them
Very cool game, the art style and music (the rap part too XD) are amazing, but the difficulty curve is too steep for me. I'd buy this if you turned it into a full game
For as novel of an idea as this is, my favorite part is the music. I walked away humming this tune when I took a break to make dinner. Well done!
Solid game and excellent take on the Sokoban genre. Some of those puzzles really ramp up in difficulty. And/or I'm having a hard time retraining my brain to think about these puzzles in a new way. Either way, super cool.
I enjoyed my time with this game, but the main character did lean a little close to some unfavorable stereotypes about mental health, especially with the SFX. Not exactly offensive, but still playing their habits for comedy isn't great.
Overall, cool game and great job to the whole team. Keep making cool games!
How is this harder than regular Sokoban! This is really excellent y'all
The concept and execution is meta and funny, puzzle design is good, and the graphics and overall aesthetic make me feel like im absoluely losing it (in a good way)
nice job :]

This game is utterly fantastic, if this could be turned into a full game I would buy it. Even just some more unique dialogue, and maybe a proper ending that involves the characters, and I would be so happy. 10/10 my favorite Jam submission so far.
Really cool game! Puzzle games are so daunting to make for me because of the level design but I feel like you guys nailed it. Very charming theme, love the dialogue popups, love the way you get the "level won" screen for "winning" and grelbo is just having none of it. Also an impressive amount of levels, with some levels that look trivial and still take some time to figure out. Super well done!
Thank you so much for the praise!
