Oh man Squid Game Sokoban, I love it. I love that this game doesn't take itself too seriously either. My wife kept trolling me the entire time. I don't know how we managed to get past some of those levels, but it was a blast. Took me a while to figure out the giant robot, though. I think if the boxes moved a set distance on touch like other grid-based Sokoban style games, it might be easier to control, but I also feel like that might take away from the frantic nature of physics-based goofiness. Definitely one of those things you can only really pull off well in a low stakes environment like a game jam. I think if you wanted to further develop this, I'd really focus on fine-tuning the physics and moment-to-moment gameplay, leaning hard on the silliness of failure. The more flashy and ridiculous a player can mess up, the better I would think. Anyway, that was a lot fun to play. Great job!

Not sure what to do on the level where the giant robot chases after the closer player-- all pushing all of the crates in did was spawn crates on the X's!
Spoiler: The boxes will fall down, which you can use to injure the robot. Takes 3 hits. It's pretty difficult though if you're playing single player. I actually accidentally uploaded a previous build. The robot was supposed to have 1 hp on easy, 2 on normal, and 3 on hard in addition to a win screen instead of looping. That's what I get for uploading so close to deadline.
I like the set up and all.
The puzzles felt a little slippery, which was frustrating.
But I did have a bit of fun with it. Good job!
