- Very much enjoyed this experience, thank you! Baba and You has been one of my favourite games and you managed to pull off something very unique and interesting. The art looks phenomenal for the setting, the theme is on point and makes perfect sense to me and the music and sounds are on point. Was that courage the cowardly dog in the background of one of those levels? I have been told to find something that could be improved upon in a game, but it's a tough to find something here. Perhaps an option to undo a move? Just in case you have made one wrong move and don't want to restart the game completely. Also an explanation of in game mechanics in game would be nice, especially since they are not too obvious. Great work! I'll be keeping an eye on this one!

Nice sokoban with a good twist. Loved the state transformation mechanics that give the whole game a unique identity, and it was nicely utilised throughout the game as well.
My small nitpick was that the sprite for the liquid (?) form is a bit not obvious, I originally thought it was actually the solid form for the first few levels. Also, it would be nice for any turn-based puzzle games to have an undo button (this is not a must though)
Anyway, nice job!!
Awesome puzzle game! I feel like it hit hard difficulty only after a couple levels, maybe i'm just terrible at puzzle games. I like the artwork quite a bit, and the different modes you shift into make it challenging in a fun way. Well done!
Verg cool puzzle, once I finally figured out the state change mechanics and the abilities. Good Job!
Pretty fun game with charming pixel art and atmospheric sort of dungeon music. However, the move reversal feature is missing, making it difficult to play with more difficult puzzles, and more animation would have added dynamics.
Extremely Fun puzzle game (And I am awful at puzzle games)!
The pixel art was very enjoyable and cute.
I feel if this was expanded into a large game I would love to see how you would expand on the puzzles!(maybe a plasma form or something Idk LOL)
Cheers, hope to see you next Game Jam.
