Another full rate game for me. Beautiful and lovely and I saved it to try it again. Great job.

This deserves more love! it's so pretty, the puzzles are excellent, everything works so well together, I could have mistaken this for a commercial game! I did have some issues figuring out how to play, it might help to update the instructions on the page to let people know that they need to hold the rotate buttons and drag with the mouse (I had to read through the comments to figure it out). But honestly aside from tutorials this game is perfect, really great work!

Hi there! Thanks a ton for playing our game and for your kind words! 😊

We appreciate your suggestion and will update the description. Sorry we couldn’t add a clearer indicator for the rotation controls this time, but we’re thrilled you still had fun! 🎮✨

Love the art and the concept! (and love to see the zero escape references) However I think I beat the first level and nothing happened and the rotation buttons didn't work :( please let me know if this was an issue on my end!

Hi! Thanks for trying out our game.

The "Next Slide" button should show up when you beat levels.

To rotate, you hold the key (Z, X, or C) and click and drag the object to rotate them.

I hope you try out our game again! Let me know if you're encountering issues :)
