Awh, thanks so much for the kind words! (And yes, I am honored by the comparison to Snakebird)

We’ve actually discussed mouse controls, both during and after the jam! Turns out that although it initially seems more intuitive, there are edge cases where what action has to happen after doing a mouse-drag is not even well-defined! Turns out that playing with controls where you drag with the mouse actually gives you a slightly different game than if you control with a keyboard >:).

(We only fully realized what this means a few days after the jam, and the lack of mouse controls in the game is solely due to our personal priorities :))

That’s a great suggestion and we did consider it, but unfortunately:

Thanks for playing our game! <3 (All credit for the great puzzles goes to @iDragon76)

Thanks! 🥰 Hehe yeah, the controls take a hot minute :).

20 levels is actually on the low side in this game mechanics’ potential! Turns out there’s a * lot * of edge cases in the mechanics that can cause all sorts of weird behavior - and the levels here do their best to explore them, but in this game jam we’re barely scratching the surface of what’s possible!

Just as an example (writing in ROT13 because spoilers):

All puzzles were designed by @iDragon76, and both of us enjoy playing difficult puzzle games, so our game caters mostly to that audience. :)
