The art style and music made this stand out really well! I really love the mini-map as well as the music that plays during the puzzles. Also the mechanics are ridiculously simple but there's so much that you were able to do with them and it felt like most puzzles had multiple ways to beat them so I felt more special after discovering them. There were moments where everything clicked which is exactly what you want in this type of game. 5 stars all around, but maybe my only criticism is that  it feels a bit jarring when you finish a puzzle because it instantly sends you to the minimap plus the music that plays there is so different in tone from the puzzle music. But overall you did amazingly.

Love the puzzles. Only wish is for more, which is just what you want from a game. Baba is you vibes in the art and how complex simple mechanics can become.

Great puzzle game! The mechanics were easy to understand, and the puzzles felt satisfying to solve. I also appreciate the option to unlock all levels; it made it easy to explore everything the game had to offer. Great job!

Great design! Im usually not a huge fan of puzzle games but I enjoyed my time with this one! Did not get to the end but thats 100% on me. Really well designed puzzles with a good difficulty scaling imo. I think there is surely is an audience that will enjoy the heck out of this. Well done!

I like this game, It reminds me of "Baba is you", I don't know if that's what you were going for but if it was, you did amazing. I personally love puzzle games (I submitted one myself!) and this was a great challenge, I got a little bit lost at times but other than that, loved it, great game!

Thanks for taking up the challenge, i was aiming for something like baba, and meeblings too. i wasn't sure how difficult those later levels would be, i'm now thinking about some redesigns to help players be ready for those levels.

Great puzzle game. I love the design for the squishy guys and the different mechanics are nice to play with. The later puzzles get quite difficult and open ended. Personally I couldn't figure out 13, 14, and 16. Since the board changes so much with a single click when there are a lot of guys together, it's difficult to intuit what the board is going to look like and what I want to do. In the end I solved a lot of puzzles with trial and error. That might just be me though. Still satisfying to play either way!

Even though you didn't make the music yourself the choice of music is good. Overall an amazing jam entry, keep it up!

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for trying it out. others mentioned the sudden difficulty so its not just you. i'd like to improve that in another update so it's more engaging to play.

Very, very nice and polished game! I loved the Baba is You inspired art, it's exactly what caught my eye scrolling for games to rate! The idea of little "movelings" who have to work together to solve the levels is funny, I liked the little guys.

Main issue was the fact that difficulty shot up rather quickly. At the start, levels were easy but clever, but towards the end of the snow (specifically level 13) I stopped being able to figure it out. That being said, the option of unlocking all levels was an addition that basically solves this issue. Even if you can't get one or two puzzles, you aren't barred from seeing the rest of the game. Very nice! :)

I liked the music too! Would've liked to see some original music for the main menu/level select but the chosen Animal Crossing tunes fit well.

Good game, please put the movelings on a t-shirt i love them. :)

thanks for reviewing and spending the time to play, it helps improve the design. you're right about the difficulty spike, it needs balancing and intermediate levels that teach certain patterns. level 13 and 14 both take 7 moves to solve, that seems to be when the difficulty gets out of hand without guiding the player to that level. 
good idea about the t-shirts, i hope i can add more types and polish their design in the future
