I originally saw this game on a stream, and marked it in my mind as a game I would love to play. Turns out, I was correct. I loved the level select screen. I did find that whilst the core of design was pretty good, the last levels somewhat relied on chaining previously seen puzzle solutions with out too much gotcha.
I would maybe add some kind of redherring in the design. It's like adding a little bit of pepper to a very well made stew, great aroma, but needs a tincy bit of spice~
Overall though, had a wonderful time.

Ahhh fair enough!
My advice would be similar to how I tend to write stories. Come up with a good ending, then a good start, then fill in the middle with everything you need to get there!
I like to make the final puzzle and break down 'what mechanics do I need to teach the player before they can do this?' then make levels tackling one of those mechanics or concepts at a time!
