1. it isn't intentional, i just had to make the graphics that way or else the game would just be a blue screen when loaded in itch.io
2. that doesn't really fit the aesthetic but i will put an outline of a square where the tile will be.
3. I totally agree with you, where the text is in my tutorial is kind of confusing.
4. I have heard that a lot but never heard to put them farther in the background, thank you i will definitely do that.
5. This past week has been very busy so i haven't gotten around to it but I definitely will when I have time.
6. I love that idea for the controls, its just that i have a mouse instead of a trackpad so what I did was most intuitive.
Thank you so much, this is my first puzzle game and I'm still new to game development so thanks for the feedback, very helpful.
(all I know is how to program which is why i went for the simplistic art style)
