Phew, what a brain teaser! I love how it  cleverly subvert the mechanics of sokoban. Being able to move blocks changes a lot of things and ask to think in various different ways.

However I feel the complexity of puzzles gets overwhelming too quickly. Pretty soon there's too much blocks and cursors to handle, and I feel less finding "the" solution rather than stumbling on the correct sets of move, without really acquiring new "strategies".  Plus the lack of "undo" features makes it easy to soft-lock, and having to redo the entire level when there are so much blocks to arrange feels exhausting. But I know that nailing "small yet challenging" puzzle is very difficult, and the levels here are not that far way from that idea! :) Plus the presentation is really clean, and the tutorial very well made. Despite the difficulty, I very much enjoyed the game!

Really cool little puzzle game lol. I was able to solve till level 7, but after that my brain melted lol. The first multiple cursor puzzle was doable. But after that I couldn't lol.

Simple mechanices polished to a T here. Love the level design as well.

But what I love most is the aesthetic and the art around the level oof. It feels rough in the most beautiful way possible.
 
Difficulty curve for the levels I played definitely feels great. None of it felt unfair. Great entry

I only played to level 4 because I am pushed for time and will check it out again later but this game is really cute! I love the SFX and Music design you did great with it, the visuals are super charming would love to play this on a gameboy haha! it actually gives me “Gift” vibes from the gameboy color Gift

The puzzles are a bit hard for me because I’m bad at puzzle games but the concept is really cool and having to move the “cursor” out of the way is pretty clever :]

Really nice game!

Absolutely amazing! it's a great idea, easy to understand, and enjoyable to play around. The game looks and feels great to play, the presentation is so polished. I love the art, the music, the cute animations, and the sound effects. Really well done! The puzzles are pretty enjoyable although in the more advanced levels, when you control multiple controllers at the same time, I never quite felt like you needed to control multiple things at the same time. I just thought of using one and managed to get my way around the level just controlling one and ignoring the rest lol still, absolutely loved it :D

Melted my brain, and I love it!

Love the art and how wobbly everything feels. Also the puzzles are hard but not to hard.

Loved the style, loved the puzzle, it's really satisfaying to solve them, super game :D

Pretty good idea, has a pretty nice twist on the whole level editing subtheme that a lot of other games have, and the sokoban puzzle design works pretty well overall. Really nice presentation, very very very polished. Great job!

Very fun puzzle game!

I don't usually play games with a ton of ratings, but this one caught my eye, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did---it's very polished and elegantly designed. I like the subtle animation everything has, as it adds some liveliness to what would otherwise be a pretty barren game. The puzzles feel fair, though it was often frustrating to move the cursor out of the way to push boxes onto buttons; it wasn't usually hard, at least in the earlier levels, and instead just felt tedious. That became less of a problem as the puzzles became more complex, though. Great entry overall.

Good job on this one! I really liked it!

This is great.  I like the 1-bit aesthetic, but it made it just a tiny bit harder to tell what was going on to start off.  I got used to it pretty quick.

Great creative game! Had a lot of fun trying to solve the puzzles
