I'm so glad you played our game!
Now you see exactly what I was talking about in my comment :)
Thank you so much for your kind words about our puzzles! This was a drastic change, almost at the last minute of the jam, and we were worried that we might have made them unclear / too easy OR too difficult.
In the next update (which we've already made but didn't manage to realease it on time), we've tried to fix all the issues with the unclear start. Some screenshots from this update will already be on the game page.
Thanks again for your feedback
