This is a fantastic entry, well done team! ^-^

Things I loved:

  • Really inspired use of the limitation!
  • Having 2 dimensions for the player to come at the puzzle is really crunchy and satisfying
  • The artwork, fonts, theme etc are all very polished, it felt like I was playing a released product!
  • Big props on the transition screen, I love that effect
  • Difficulty curve was very balanced - felt both challenging and a logical progression

Things I'd love to see:

  • Maybe a phone app "star rating" style scoring system would work well here - like a par number of swaps, or having a Submit button that lets you check if you got it right and you lose a star if you missed something, etc
  • The length was perfect but I'd still love to see more levels! :D

Really like the concept, I think it might be the most interesting interpretation of the limitation that I have seen! I think it would be very fun as a phone game!

This game is such a good idea! I really love the "changing the rules" mechanic, that's clever! Plus the art is so nice!

Really well made! A unique interpretation of the limitation, I like it. The puzzles scale nicely in difficulty, making me think in a way that was fun and not too frustrating. The art is also really cute

My favorite game yet! Did take me a sec to figure out the twist though.

The gameplay is unique and fun, and I really like all the finishing touches! The loading screen and the sound effects the frogs make are awesome.
