I love the theme, it's super cozy and polished! Just moving back and forth spreading and un-spreading feels very satisfying.

I got stuck on the first bagel level though :( I just cannot visualize how to make the blade do what I want it to do properly. I think it's because the control scheme is relative to the blade position, combined with muscle memory from other WASD games. I keep pressing A/D to try to move literal left/right instead of rotating, or W/S to move literal up/down instead of relative forwards/backwards. Anyways skill issue

Thank you for the kind words! :D

The tank controls are rather tricky to get down. Even after hours of testing, I'll still get confused, myself! We experimented with alternative control schemes, but the tank controls were the only option that really worked for this style of puzzle game. We'll definitely remember this when we design our next game; deciding on a simple and fun movement mechanic may be the best first step to take when brainstorming game ideas! :)
