Very nice puzzle ! Like many of us, I stuck on Recurrency level, but that was a fun discovery)
I really enjoyed this game and it is one I look forward to returning to after the jam. I know you mentioned not having time to add in a reload level button, which I totally get, but I do hope you go back after the jam and add that.
Hi Val, I've updated the game with a reset level button:

This was really good, loved every second of it. Recurrency was the biggest headscratcher but I eventually got through it and was happy with how that mechanic was used for the rest of the game. Bailout was clever too, I found the solution for that one by accident!
I love how little is explained outside of the level titles. It really made each solution feel earned. Awesome job!
That is such a clever game, especially that last level!
Really had fun with this one.
Ooof you twisted my mind :D a bit too obscure at first, but very cool idea, very unique
Cool game idea with a very good overall level of polish. Good job!
Fun game! Had a few aha moments during play.
The name of the game and the theme are gorgeous.
Definitely one of my favourites! Love the feeling of the graphics and audio combined with the currency aesthetic, really nailed it for me :D Bailout was tricky but the solution felt really satisfying. Thanks for making this! It's awesome.
I try every combination I can think of at Recurrency. I wish I can go little further than that. I like the minimalist design. Music and sfx are fitting.
Edit: I past the Recurrency after reading the developer log, but stuck at Corruption. Right side of the screen cut off like the gheja said. I zoom in and out but doesnt chnage anything for me. (Also I see amogus in Margins level, is it intentional)
I got stuck on Recurrency, too, for a while then I remembered the theme (😉), made it up to Corruption.
It's a really nice and chill puzzle, great job, I loved it!
Note: when playing it in randomizer, zoomed in to 150%, the right side of the screen gets cut off - don't use zoom. (Chrome, 1920x1080)
I also could not get past recurrency :(. but none the less this is clearly a game which requires thought, rarther than just telling you what to do and what everything means. 👍
