I really enjoyed this charming game, even though completing couple of levels were out of my reach. This game reminds me of the simple but great Lolo games on NES. If you plan on continuing this and developing it on par with Lolo and similar classics, I'd really like to do some relaxing music for it.

- Wowww I love this! Super cute, great mechanics - very excited to see where this goes once the time travel is ironed out and incorporated into some levels!
- Relaxing puzzle game with cute pixel art! The music fits the setting. Well done!
- The audio track gets way too repetitive. Otherwise, pretty nice game. I had to use the unlocked jam version, though, I got stuck in 2 levels!
- Fun original puzzle game, great mechanics!

Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah the box not moving back in time properly was a hotfix I did to address a separate issue so I could finish my submission in time. It should work properly in the next version I release.
I also adjusted the camera to have larger padding on all sides so the max length the tongue can reach will always be on screen, but I can experiment with adding an option to lock the camera too!
Cute puzzler, nicely put together.
I got stuck on the third level for a while, because the block was dropping in on the top side of the chasm, so I didn't know what to do with it... However, after I got it figured out, I can't seem to replicate it, so I'm not sure if it was a bug, or if I just was doing something different and didn't realise.

The trick to that level is that there are two different ways to pull blocks - walking backwards with the block attached to your tongue will only move it one tile, but pressing A to retract your tongue will yank it all the way to the player before dropping it!

Interesting, I've never encountered that before. I'll keep an eye out and try to fix it if possible!
