Took me a couple tries to complete! Though I did feel a little confused on the mechanics at first :D Though it was pretty entertaining given the jam restrictions!

Thanks! Yeah, it's actually a demake of an actual puzzle game, which is also itself kind of hard to grasp at first. It doesn't help that I didn't have room to check if the random puzzle is actually solvable or not, hehe.
