They sure are! They're both almost complete, we'll share news soon.

Not particularly, but there was a weird coincidence involved!
So, Teo Zamudio (who drew all the game's art) drew it after we decided on a latin american tropical aesthetic and i added the title text. Then days later, i came across this book at my partner's house and was kinda stunned by the similarity. Narrow, serif font, in yellow, over stylized tropical plants! Maybe i saw it earlier and it inspired the pairing subconsciously. Who knows. :)
Thanks for playing! and for the patience, as it's taken me a while to get back to you. :)
I really appreciate the thoughtful message. In that first example, I chose to be extra permissive to avoid annoying the player. It doesn't enable unintended solutions or cause any issues, so I decided to allow it. Ideally it would be accounted for in the animation (the player pulls the crate towards them as they turn) but I never got around to implementing that.
The second example is fundamentally disallowed by the system. It would break most of the game to allow it.
While i agree that it's very easy to argue that the first situation has too much clipping to be allowed, there's still a pretty big difference in the two scenarios, as you can see here -
So at some point I have to draw the line of "that's too much clipping", and I chose "when a face of a crate/block is pushing directly against the face of another". Hope that's a satisfying answer!
Sorry to hear! It may be because Gatekeeper is determining it as unsafe. Can you try running it through the itch app if you aren't already?
Otherwise, you can try following the instructions under "If you want to open an app that hasn’t been notarized" on this link:

Let me know if one of those works, either way we'll figure it out!
Of course, here’s the FLP: http://toboggan.work/tmp/fetal-position.flp
It just uses Native Instruments Massive VST and the stock limiter.
