There seemed to be too many opportunities to have to restart from the beginning. If I got the first L shape, coming back to the room with the lasers (after the pong room), if I dragged a block accidentally making the laser cross the entire room, I can no longer get to the rest of the room. A reset did not move the blocks back to a "safe" position where the lasers were passable, and the shape was no able to progress as it was behind the laser.

Similar things happened if you had moved blocks with the starting piece.

It is an interesting concept. If I had been able to switch pieces maybe that would have resolved the issue?  Also it would have been nice if the movement speed was a little faster.

Interesting!

Thanks for your review!

You are right, this braking sequence is possible. Firstly door in room above center was oriented the other way, leaving possibilty to go around lasers. But testers did not like it, so i turned it around, creating deadlock situation. I will be more careful when adding more rooms now.

You know what else testers did not like in first versions? Speed of movement. I think, you won't believe it, but it was 4 times slower :) Even more, the first draft made you push button for each step (no holding allowed).

So, thanks again for your comment, it will make me update my roadmap and improve the game!

The movement I can understand it not being faster. As it is right now I still accidentally moved blocks when I did not mean to. If it was faster, I think that would happen more.

I think if the reset was adjusted to either reset the blocks to their original position if whatever puzzle was not solved, or reset to a "solved" state if the puzzle had been solved, it would prevent some locking scenarios.  That might entail multiple reset states, especially if there were multiple puzzles/blocks in a room.

I'll try playing again later :)

Ok... finished :)  That was fun. I did not encounter soft locks on this run, I am not sure if I was just being careful or if the added blocks and ability to shift prevented the softlocks. Good stuff :)

Thanks a lot for your comment! I am glad you like it:)
