This game is brilliant. 5 star gameplay.
That's very kind, thanks a lot :)
Very nice puzzle ! Like many of us, I stuck on Recurrency level, but that was a fun discovery)
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it :)
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.
Thanks Val! :) I'll try to do a small quality of life update sometime after the jam when I find the time.
I'd love to add in some tweaks and improvements as well as some level select/reset options.
Hi Val, I've updated the game with a reset level button:

Good job.
Thank you! :)
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's very kind, I appreciate it! :) Thanks for letting me know about the accidental solve as well. (I aim to avoid those)
Some of these levels are genius was so confused to what the game was supposed to be at first but this was very well executed!
Thank you very much spaghetman! :)
That is such a clever game, especially that last level!
Really had fun with this one.
I'm really glad to hear it dahut, thank you for playing! :)
Ooof you twisted my mind :D a bit too obscure at first, but very cool idea, very unique
Thanks a lot Carbonado! :)
Cool game idea with a very good overall level of polish. Good job!
Thanks for playing keibo, I appreciate it :)
Very nice puzzle game, great work!
At first I got stuck on the level Bailout, not sure if I am missing an aspect of gameplay mechanics, but then I figured it out while writing this comment. Very cleverly hidden solution!
Sounds and music are nicely soft, like an ASMR. :)
I'm glad to hear you were able to solve everything, thanks for the kind words! :)
This a really neat idea for a game. The levels are very well thought out to teach each new element.
Thanks so much enevis! :)
Fun game! Had a few aha moments during play.
The name of the game and the theme are gorgeous.
Thank you, that means a lot! I'm glad to hear you had fun with it :)
Love it, the later levels really make you use your brain, also the title is amazing
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it :)
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.
Thanks a lot for playing and the kind words Bryn!
I'll make sure to check out your submission tomorrow as well :)
Pretty hard but i enjoyed every level. Great game
Thank you for playing, I appreciate it :)
A very fun little game I managed to complete it I think. Really clever you.
Thank you very much for playing sudhan! :)
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)
Thanks a lot for playing Laster33, I appreciate it! :)
(there's some hints in the comments below and in the developer log if you'd like to see more)
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)
Thanks so much for playing and the kind words! I'm happy to hear someone managed to solve the level :)
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. 👍
It is solvable though! I appreciate the kind words, thank you for playing! :)
I didn't know what to do at "Recurrency" but this was fun! Well done!
The level uses the same mechanic/skills from previous levels, but can be tricky to deduce. Thank you for playing! :)
