You probably figured somebody was gonna do this, but here it is, I gathered every bucket/trashcan in one station. This took... a while.
Also found a lil guy named sin! Ominous.
This reminds me a lot of reYal and KITSUNE.control, except those games have you control a meta level down by pressing keys instead of using physics. (KITSUNE.control in particular, since it also has you lining up larger multi-layer moves)
Fractal tic-tac-toe is like this too, with smaller board placement determining where on the big board you go.
(also some multi-board pinball games?)
I wonder how many other game genres this can be applied to?
ok bugs probably don't matter in something like this, but I still feel obligated to report a crash I found
I think it was because I hit the ball so slowly it got -0 velocity on collision maybe
ERROR in

once you get the drill, you can use the drill's ability to snap you to the grid to jump 4 blocks in height, sorta like the quick-turn in pac-man speedruns.
(with how many 4 block tall things there are in Ziggurat, this might be intentional?)
also it's possible to softlock by switching off blue, entering the main menu, leaving the menu with the player's position in the center of the A, then when you come back with blue switched on again you'll be stuck in the A without ctrl+Z doing anything. (since it doesn't undo level entering)
Sorry to add to this, but the last update didn't fix everything for me. (Playing the downloaded version, browser version works fine)
Before the last update, the colored areas filling up didn't display at all.
After that update, they display and fill up, but if I click them they freeze, and I can't drain resources from them.
This is with a blank save with only the shoveller active.
The thought process for making a move in this game at level 5:
"Okay, so if #0 taps downward, #1 will stand on the right button, making #2 walk over the down button, making #3 stand on the right button, making #4 walk right."
"BUT, I want #4 to only move one tile right, meaning #3 has to walk down over the right button, meaning #2 has to hold the down button, #1 has to walk over the right button, #0 has to hold the down button."
Madness.
I love trying to wrap my brain around that, but it's waaay to tedious to do nine levels of this. The amount of time and moves required seem to increase exponentially. I just got to level six after an hour and I think I'll stop there.
I'm surprised that this isn't the first time I've seen a mechanic like this though. I've seen it once before in "reYal" by xrrawva, although that doesn't have the mechanic of holding a button down.
Just stuck to one color scheme and made a bunch of characters that might be jester themed enemies. It's neat how strong of an expression you can get out of a bunch of diagonal lines and pointy bits.

This is a cool concept, but there are some features from another minesweeper variant called mamano sweeper that might make this better.
The first those features being the ability to defuse a mine and see the number at the mine's location. I think that would increase visibility and prevent 50/50 situations from happening as often.
The second feature is that you could put multiple mines on the same tile, which would prevent mines from blocking off visibility of areas as often by bunching up the mines.
I got this bug too on the level after this, and I think I know what causes it maybe? In the level this person is showing, I managed to exit the level before dad did. Then in the level right after, it only let me complete that level when I completed it before dad again.
To complete the levels before dad, I used a glitch where if you have a reprogrammed/possessed robot's code open when the level ends, it gets permanently reprogrammed with what your code page 0 was when the level ended with its code open.
Hope that helps!
I love that you can automate throwing money into garbage, thus gaining a net positive garbage loop to use for nefarious purposes such as selling babies and gaining large amounts of negative money. I wish you could have lines output to multiple places so you wouldn't have to alternate which garbage pile the cash goes to.
I like the new UI!
Took a bit to figure out that I have to click the WAILA to open the guidebook, not sure if I missed a tutorial message. Maybe the WAILA could hilight on hover like the magnifying glass does or something.
I also found that since the repulsion core doesn't repulse through frames or wire, you can use a bunch of frames and wire to cheese the end of the tutorial.
I DID IT! :D
Not sure if you are adding more to this or not, but for suggestions:
I know it would be unrealistic, but being able to reatatch limbs to make a weird humonculous would be cool. It would fit with the horror aesthetic, doing horrific things to a person in a dungeon.
This game reminds me of the dr mods from wxsand, where you could kill and revive someone over and over, doing weird things to them, like giving them illnesses or zombifying them. Except you can't revive him in this, other than resetting to the beginning. That would be nice.
If you ever want to add something that is magic/scifi, you could keep it in the aesthetic by making it eldritch magic I guess.
