I've finally created a Ko-Fi page. No pressure to donate. https://ko-fi.com/playcebo
P.S. Unrelatedly, I'd like to recommend a free puzzle book called Bobogram, filled with some challenging but very fun rule-discovery grid puzzles: https://uiqoo.kr/bobogram/ (I learned about it via the Thinky Puzzle Game community.)
Cool! I'm gonna try it out! Were you inspired by BoBoGram in the making of this puzzle?
Also, I'm reading that BoBoGram was inspired by Abdec: https://letibus.itch.io/abdec, another pencil and paper "discover the rules" puzzle!
Nope, Bobogram was way after (and it didn't consciously influence any updates). I was inspired by ABDEC's predecessor LOK -- which just came out on Steam today! Big fan of ABDEC as well, though I regretfully looked up answers on two puzzles.
