I found that the rules of the puzzle are not at all clear, thusly making the problem about figuring out what the game wants you to solve rather than solving. I do like the art and sound a lot, very streamlined and satisfying.

Thanks for playing!
Hopefully the tutorial (bottom of https://sporktank.itch.io/the-symmetry-hall-problem) helped a bit, but I definitely should have put it in-game. :)
