A classic die and use your death as tool puzzle game!

I really liked the visuals on this one, while I think being able to move around the level via mouse adds a bit much to it, where the designs for the puzzles could all just being a singular facing edge. Playing around the idea of larger puzzles that you need to mouse around sounds cool, something akin to Captain Toad.

The puzzle difficulty spikes up pretty quickly after the first few, where I felt like it was a breeze then I got stumped. I couldn't figure out the one (maybe around level 6-7?) where there is one dirt, and the whole level looks like an egg. I thought I had the solution by becoming stone at the starting point to get to the higher surface (And if that is it, I think that idea is really cool!) But I couldn't figure it out. I always think its important to add some sort of skip feature to game jam puzzle games, since some players might find certain levels way harder than others. At you mostly just want people to play your game, so letting them continue on if they want to is better than forcing them to figure it out, or quit.

I think there is a good amount of potential here for more level designs, especially ones that don't get too deep into the "Can you move around this small grid in the correct orientation" kind of puzzles with games like these. It could maybe be interesting to have the players death affect the world in different ways. Where maybe there is a lava tile that can only be blocked by the stone for so long. Lots of ideas available.

Having an undo only for a single life could help the troubles, since having to remember replay every action you did, when you could've died to a mistake is annoying. But thats mostly a quality of life feature.

The transitions of levels are a nice touch, and always good for a jam game. Although some form of music would've helped the experience aswell.

There are a few random bugs I encountered, one of which is if you try to move onto a tile that is on a plate, you will deactivate the plate even if you didn't move onto it.

Overall a nice game! Good job.
