thanks for playing! you're absolutely right, the undo system is not communicated at all in game and is quite lacking. i really wish i had figured out a good way to implement a complete puzzle reset system, to save long undo sequences, but i just couldn't figure out a nice way in any reasonable amount of time.

i did fix a couple of puzzle designs that i was sure would practically guarantee long boring backtracking sequences, but of course, that's not quite enough to save the game from all the boring backtracking.

i'm honestly super touched to hear that you thought the music and sounds were good! those are areas i'm not as sure of myself in, but knowing that at least one person thinks they're better than my art is, weirdly enough, actually extremely reassuring lol.

thanks for playing! your point about keyboard and mouse controls is something i had not considered. the main issue imo is that the mouse controls more or less mandate capturing the mouse (which is a little annoying), and so i added the keyboard option as an explicit toggle so the mouse could be uncaptured.

but, this is less important now that the web version isn't even available, as mouse capture is much less annoying on desktop.

and thanks for your final comment! i consider this game to be perhaps the most artistically honest thing i have ever created. i love the freedom that this jam gives to just... be sincere. and i'm extremely glad it comes through in the game!

i'm glad you liked the in game dialog! i was very worried it would interrupt the puzzle solving too much. but i will let you in on a little secret: the dialog messages have little correlation to your gameplay. most of them are based on how many times you've pushed a box around. i did figure, though, that they may be interpreted in a lot of ways as what conditions trigger them are not apparent to the player, and it's cool to see that that's true.

designing the stages was for me mostly a two-ish step process. one: draw them out on paper. this is nice as it's easy to draw, say, the intended path and think about how that will work, or to add and remove walls, etc, all very quickly. all of my puzzles were based on a core idea, e.g. "i want you to push this box over there, or through this part of the puzzle," etc. almost all of my puzzles did not actually work correctly once i built them in editor, as it's easy to overlook stuff on paper. so once i had them built in editor, i would de-cheese them, trying to at least stick somewhat close to my "core idea." sometimes i just kinda had to scrap the idea as it didn't seem doable. the other trick is to try to place walls that force a solution, but that don't make that solution completely readily obvious. this is mostly trial-and-error for me: place some walls, boot up the puzzle, and if i can easily cheese the solution, try a different set of walls.

thanks for playing! it's so nice to hear people call my game cute not gonna lie. and i'm glad the horny aspect is fun!

thanks!! i'm glad to hear that at least some people like the dialog (and the characters!) as honestly i have no idea what i'm doing lol. never really written dialog or designed much in the way of characters before. also glad to hear the puzzles were occasionally difficult. i found so much cheese during development that i was convinced everyone would one-shot the puzzles... guess i was wrong!
