Oh this is charming. I like that it has a bit of story behind it. Would be cool if there were more mechanics too
The last "level" is touching also
The UI on the map screen sometimes hides the panda behind btw

I enjoy your game pretty much. Music is so soothing that I wish I could play more levels. Only thing I don't get, what price "planda" have to offer to move. But overall wonderful game.
The fourth level is a masterpiece. The pun "stop going circle" is literally the puzzle.
Btw music and graphics is cute. Animation is lively. Panda is wholesome. Accessibility is decent (mouse support, undo system)
Although I hope there is a hotkey for undo.
Difficulty is at the sweet point for a casual game jam reviewer.
Also I think the clearing puzzle genre quite fits the theme of stress management. So the story is not just lecture, but also makes you feel it.
It is quite brilliant to make puzzles that looks complicated but you need to not overthinking it but go straightforward. Very clever design and fits the theme perfectly
A bug is that if I want to play it mouse only, I cannot click the dialogue bubble to close it. It is a bit misleading that you need to move to close the dialogue. It stucks me on level 5 where the player character moves out of the camers. So i cannot control him using the mouse.
Another bug is my score on the second level dont display properly.
Most things in life are not black and white...this game jam is. Thanks for the opportunity and theme that I used to explore an issue that I find complex, dealing with the theme of anxiety or worry in the context of a 1-bit chill puzzle game was a fun and therapeutic experience. And, I had a great time playing and seeing what everyone else made.
