Oh yeah, I see now why this one got rated so high. I can see every little intentional trap set by just the layout of the puzzle. You guys even had the foresight to add a walkthrough for people who might get stuck. Honestly not much more to say then really great work!

How does your game fit the theme?

Thank you so much! Noted, next time we could add a couple more sounds and choose one of them randomly. I did notice many games like Baba is You do that, but we didn't really have time to implement it. By the way, you were 4 levels away from beating the game! You can check the solutions in the video found in the description, if you'd like.
Edit: congrats on being our last rating lmao
Very well designed and thought out puzzle game. Had a great time! Got stuck on the level in the screenshot. Was I far off the end?
There is very little to criticise here. All the mechanics work flawlessly, each puzzle builds on your knowledge of existing mechanics, and the difficulty curve is really good. The art is very pleasant to look at, reminds me of a board game Chameleon.
I guess the only complaint I had was that the grey blocks weren't really explained so it took me a while to figure out what to do with them.
Also, huge number of levels for a Game Jam. Well done! :)
Thanks so much! The gray blocks were intended to be figured out on your own, since the level that teaches them has very little moving parts but no other possible solution. But I know now that it wasn't clear enough, since you're not the first to point that out. Thanks. Maybe I should've done like I did with the main mechanic, a level that forces you to use them accidentally.
You were very close to the end, you had to solve that level and 2 more. That's where the really hard levels start (we made the last ones thanks to ideas coupled with accidental discoveries, so to be honest I don't think I would be able to solve them if I hadn't made them). You can check the video in the description if you want to see the solutions!

That does seem to be a glitch, and so far no one else has said that they had the same problem. Maybe you could try downloading it (or playing it on web if the audio didn't work on the downloaded version).
Either way, thank you so much!
Yeah, we are aware of it. We don't know what causes it though. The code is very short, so it should've been easy to find, but we spent 3 hours trying to fix it and then gave up. We thought it wouldn't be that bad since it only happens when you undo near metal crates. That's what the warning in the description is about.
Anyway, thank you so much!
PS: There's a video in the description in case you wanna check the solutions for those later levels!
