Game Description
A lunar excavation puzzle game inspired by Stephen's Sausage Roll.

How does your game tie into the theme?
The game takes place on the moon. I think of each level as preparing the foundation for a future building on a colonized moon.

The game was very fun and unique, but the controls are not very intuitive (especially for moving the excavator). I think I created a bug by taking the excavator in the fourth level...

Thanks for the feedback! I can definitely understand that the controls are a bit awkward, I think that’s a common response to Stephen’s Sausage Roll as well. Worth calling out nonetheless, though!

As for the bug in the fourth level, I’m not sure what you by taking the excavator. Do you mean that you picked up one of the green lifts? If so, that’s not really expected in that level, but it is allowed (and central) to most of the following levels. Let me know if I’m misunderstanding, though – if there’s another issue, I’d be interested to hear it so I can be aware/figure out what went wrong.

Nice little puzzler! I had a great time with this one.

This is great! Real Stephen's Sausage Roll vibes! I think having played that helped me with the movement, hopefully others can pick it up quickly, but I can imagine it might be tough.

I'm almost to the end, and will definitely come back to finish this game. Great puzzle game (I'm a bit biased), well done on your second GWJ. :)
