Really nice idea but i found the movement a little frustating. I think a selection box on either the dolls or the ground or perhaps a ghost of the doll that will be placed when undoing would help plan moves. For some reason I had a hard time remembering that the bigger doll would move on right click rather than depositing the smaller one.

Very nice entry with plenty of potential. If you added some animations it would make a perfect mobile puzzler. The move limit was a little frustrating due to it immediately restarting the level. If you implemented it instead as a "par" system it would be less frustrating and let people explore different solutions without fear of being optimal. Art was cute and communicated what you needed to do. Good work!

Telepathic TurtlesThe gameplay reminded me a lot of the Hanoi Towers :) Good concept and nice execution, but it took me a minute to figure out how to right-mouse click works.
