This game is super cute and a decent challenge to boot! I feel it’s been very well thought-out and I really enjoyed it 😄 Nice work!

Cut-Out Studio: Crisis!The freezing water mechanic worked really well with the level layout, and the art was quite charming! Nice work!

Brewing A GainVery cool mechanics for a puzzle game! Puzzle design was also pretty decent. Definitely needs some polish, checkpoints were somewhat pointless once you reach the double character stage since it's easy to checkpoint an impossible state. Would definitely like to see this grow into a larger puzzle game :)
(By the way, not sure if you're a member of the Thinky Games discord yet, but it's a great place to discuss puzzle games and puzzle game development, highly recommended!)

Zoom EscapeThanks for the feedback! We definitely should have added some kind of multi-checkpoint undo to prevent those awkward softlocks, and there's certainly work to be done with cleaning up the level design. We're big fans of the Thinky Games community! Our initial idea was to build a sprawling mountain with multiple paths forward (much like A Monster's Expedition)!
I truly appreciate your sincere encouragement and thank you so much for playing (:
I love it! The levels really make me struggle. The mechanics are very cool and creative. I adore the art, I wish you had more time to make more to see it.

Doom's Daythese puzzle mechanics have a lot of potential, really creative stuff. The ending, especially the music, was also great.

Hyperscale Redmaybe the real fish were the friends we made along the waterfall. Cool game, quite challenging!

BUILT TO SCALE! GMTK2024Very interesting concept! And the carp is very cute :)
I got stuck sometimes and it was really difficult to undo some decisions as I had to press z sooo many times..it would be probably helpful to be able to undo ice making by clicking on a certain ice cube :) Nevertheless, I can say that puzzles are cool and have lots of potential!
Great use of background music! Behind all that zen, I'm sweating trying to calculate my next 10+ moves lol. A pleasant game to stumble upon, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, despite the simplicity.
