This is a great puzzle game because it directly told me absolutely nothing about the mechanics yet it taught me about them so well. It's very well designed and the audio and visuals are super satisfying:)

The fireworks at 0.9 was so rewarding.

A very addictive puzzle game! Even though it’s not really my genre, I ended up playing for quite a while. Great work!

I can already see this as a level design concept!

I had similar idea, but I though it would take too long time to design level so i went for a roguelite. I'm impressed on how polished the puzzle are :)

Really cool game! I love the minimalist vibes, the visuals and sounds were so pleasing. I'm kinda slow so I didn't get what I was doing at first. The clue of 2 being important is really impactful once you understand why. One of the first levels introduces it nicely but it can be solved in other ways which is what happened in my first run. Got frustrated but I'm glad I gave it a second chance, really well done!

I usually try to find something negative, but nothing stood out to me here.

The only real criticism might be that it doesn't explain exactly how it works—it took me a few minutes to figure it out. Even though it's demonstrated at the start, it didn't click for me right away. ^^

But once it did click, my competitive spirit really kicked in.

I struggled a bit at first—since I hadn't fully grasped the mechanics yet—BUT there was a "rewind" feature (using the Z "Y" key) that let you undo moves; I think that was a really important and smart decision.

Then, just like in the description (which I only read *after* playing), I had a bit of an "aha!" moment at Block 2. ;)

I found the sound, animations, and music all pleasant, and the very last "level"—serving as the finale—was really cool. ^^
Really Nice Game !

I really love this bomberman-esque concept of countdown!

Puzzles are really challenging and its very rewarding once you understand the mechanics behind it.

Really fun and unique puzzle game with minimal art.

Very intuitive, only taking a few minutes to get the hang of without reading instructions. Took a while to get to the credits screen.
