I didn't see the prompt to let you know you could click the heart in the bottom left and get more puzzle pieces, maybe that was just me


but once I figured that out I had a blast

That last level was pretty tricky! Congrats on finishing the game jam!

I think the game would be a lot easier to parse if the map pieces not in the grid were allowed to be left in empty space outside the grid. My view of the pieces on the side was partially cut off, so I had to constantly pull pieces out to confirm what was on them. Plus, leaving pieces you think might work near where you're thinking about them would really help you keep yourself organized.

The character art is charming, and the music was a good fit for thinking through things.

Thanks for sharing this!

Surprisingly really hard. I love puzzle games but that second level really got me for a while. Still, nice concept and good art. Good job!

Perhaps Jeff should consider moving to a place where his path home doesn't resemble a qr code
