Clever puzzle game with a nice use of the limitation.

I think the time limit could be a bit more generous and it would be nice if you could go back only one attempt in the 4 puzzle as it starts to get tedious to redo 3 different routes just because you made a mechanical error on the 4th. Unfortunately I hit escape (or something) on the 4 puzzle and the game turned grey and wouldn't let me continue so that as far as I got.

The visuals are functional. They work well from the game and don't take away form its gameplay but don't rise to the level of making me want to play the game because of the visuals.

Overall an excellent jam entry.

Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback. I’ve confirmed that pressing ESC triggers this issue. That key was set as the exit shortcut for the EXE build, but it causes problems in the browser version.

As for the tight time limits: I designed it this way to stop players from idling instead of actively playing. I think the repetitive levels you mentioned are meant to train players to master the waiting mechanic — not sure if this is what you refer to as a mechanical error.

I’ve done my best with the visuals. I’m working on this solo, and I’m definitely not a professional artist, haha.

Anyway, really appreciate you playing my game!<3
