Took a while to understand what was happening, but once I did, the game was a lot of  fun. The puzzles were really well designed, I even failed at one and gave up, but not before I noticed myself sitting with a hand on chin, leaned back, trying to figure things out.

Except a few bugs already mentioned by others, it all ran smoothly and was surprisingly fun.

Puzzles are so clever! You really do a great job of teaching the different mechanics to the player! Some polishing issues, for example collision for the creation of the buddies can be wonky sometimes. Also the player sticks to the wall which could be fixed just by adding a new physics material to the rigid body and turning down the friction. Really cool ideas, and a great take on the theme!

Yeah, I definitely have a lot of bug fixing to do. I think the cinemachine virtual camera is messing with the raycast for where the buddies spawn Then my terrible method of moving them out of the bounds doesn't quite work how I needed to, lmao. I'll probably fix it up and iterate it more after the rating period is over. Thank you for your kind words!
