Thanks so much! I do realize the tutorial was a band-aid solution, but I'm glad you could easily grasp the concept! The top-down tilt is something I realized too late, but that would indeed be a great addition in terms of accessibility, so thanks for the tips!
As for resetting the puzzle back to Midas, that's what the R button does. When failing a part, it won't reset the entire level if your solution with Midas was correct and you'd only need to adjust your path with the Bones. However, in case you do realize you took the wrong path with Midas, a simple press of the R button should reset the level in its entirety!
