great puzzle game, I love the dialog and the story in general!
Really interesting puzzle game! I like how the newspaper comments when you mess a level up! Also really liked the background music, it really added to the overall atmosphere! Great submission!
I loved the concept of a two-layer puzzle (1 - fit all pieces in the board; 2 - make sure all tadpoles and frogs are separated). I think allowing the player to "complete" a level however they want (either by solving one of the two layers of the puzzle or just skipping completely) shows very clever game design: a puzzle game that can be as challenging as the player wishes. I also liked the narrative and how the newspaper calls you lazy if you skip a level hahaha
Congrats, amazing game overall! And more levels please! :D
Loved this game. The puzzles were really well designed, each one after the first couple took me at least a few minutes and gave me that "a-ha" moment that is great in a puzzle game. Unique gimmick mechanic that I could definitely see expanded. Also, I love the interpretation of the theme and the sense of humor. Excellent job!
Awesome game! The puzzles were difficult, but impressive. And the overall aesthetic was wonderful. I thought the tie-in to the theme was a *little* thin, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this one quite a bit :D

It was a bit hard, but the idea with the newspaper, the jail, and the combinations needed to keep the inmates from killing each other was really interesting. Quite innovative, maybe... and definitely challenging! Good job!
Fun idea! why do I have the feeling the tadpoles are not as innocent as described? I sometimes found a small bug where I could place a pieces over another piece. It also took me a bit to realize the "Go Home" button does not bring you back to the main menu, but finishes a level. But overall, you did a good job! The music fits the prison theme well, too
this was really fun!! and i love the tadpoles with their little knives xD
Nice puzzle game, and the newspaper and music reminded me of Papers, Please!
Really good puzzle design, big fan of that. The music was very fitting for the theme of your game.
Played this game all the way to the end! This was so much fun. I honestly wanted more levels! There was something incredibly satisfying in putting in that final piece of the puzzle. Speaking of which, I thought the difficulty curve was excellent: the puzzles were fun, just challenging enough to have you moving stuff around and taking pieces back out. Not too easy, not too difficult. And the art style and sound design were also pretty rad. Loved this! Keep up the great work!
