Thank you for your feedback! Our artist and composer worked very hard, and we're glad to hear you liked the result!
The water really does become deadly on the second playthrough. Because the rules change every time. But you can still complete the level if you use the box to make a bridge over the water and cross it.
We fiixed the hint button in our latest bug fix, so feel free to use it if you're having trouble with any level.
Feel free to play our game again with fixed hints to help you along the way!
