Good game! I realized there was a metapuzzle almost immediately (also that's part of how I found it in the first place), got inklings of what it was near the end, made a second copy of the file, figured out Puzzle 11's gimmick pretty quickly because I happen to know the names of plutoids off the top of my head, and had a lot of fun. It took me most of an evening.
If I have any criticism it's that Puzzle 1 is (still) too hard, but, maybe that's the intended difficulty? There's definitely other stuff in here where you'd need to know trivia to connect it to the theme, like with HAUMEA and QUARTZ, and the theme for Puzzle 1 can't be too obvious. I ended up solving 12 first by guessing and then going back and doing 1.

Here's what the game looks like when I launch it.
Here's what it looks like after I click the fullscreen button.

Here is an example of a pair of nodes that I can't leave because only the other node is adjacent and onscreen. This is after I botched a node, but I've run into other scenarios where I can't progress when I haven't failed any.
I'm not sure how I got into this pair of nodes. It might have involved screen scroll, like, I exploited the slow scroll to click on the node before it left the screen.
This game had a lot of good dialogue, and slowly discovering just how terrible and annoying Parsnip is to everyone was a unique and wonderful experience. The animation was great too.
My two major complaints are that there's no music, and that Parsnip's idle animation has him moving too much, but it looks like you fixed both of these issues in the sequel(s).
