Thanks Alex, really enjoyed this game. I could see the Sokoban Bunny Tales influence (e.g. level 8 was like the bunny tales ice mazes, and the solve for level 13 required a similar strategy as a few bunny tales puzzles).

The secret bonus levels were a nice touch. I felt completely clueless as to how to reach them and was about to give up, when I read another commenter on here saying they were glad they persisted, so I made some educated guesses and ... eureka!

Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Nice, glad you enjoyed it! I've been thinking about ways I could have clued the secrets better - this was a good learning experience to help me fine tune how much guidance would be the right amount. I have a few ideas for how I could give just a little tiny extra nudge here and there.

Yeah it's a tough balance. If the secrets were more obvious, it wouldn't have been as rewarding to find them, so for me it seemed about right as-is. Of course that exact balance varies from person to person. In this case, I might not have known that the "????" represented extra levels, except for the fact that I was expecting 16 levels and the list stopped after 13.
