wait no damn i'm an idiot! there is a part of the game that requires sound, how could i forget sjdjsjdj-
(MILD SPOILERS)
it's in the xylophone part!

I've been tempted by the walkthrough; I dislike using them, because, well, why bother playing if I'm just going to give up and follow someone's instructions when it gets difficult? Anpyhow, as what I wrote above implies, I'm now unstuck...at least for the moment!
thank you very much!! your feedback is very much appreciate, and i respect that you took so much time trying to solve that one puzzle haha. again, sorry for the mixup with my comment, i genuinely forgot you had to have sound on for that one part lol.
i tried to have everything be as intuitive as possible but like i've said before sometimes i definitely got tunnel vision, and certain parts weren't as easy to understand as i thought. and like you said, even if the walkthrough is available, just following it isn't super fun. i'll keep it in mind if i update this game, or make future puzzle games.
still, i'm really glad you enjoyed what i made, and thought the meta puzzles were clever! :D thank you for playing!! <3
Maybe it's just me, but I still don't see what sound had to be on for, unless you are somehow testing to see if the user has the tab muted. (I'm using the in-browser version, which I assume is obvious in view of my speaking of muted tabs.) I could have had the volume turned all the way down during that time and I can't figure any way it would have made any difference.
I can understand that flavour of tunnel vision. I have it myself for my own software: what seems obvious to me often isn't to others.
Thanks again for a very enjoyable game!
