I liked this take on sokoban, very fun! I think the levels need to ramp up slower, especially for a game jam where is often better to lean a bit easier. But besides that, very solid.

Thanks for playing and feedback!
And yeah unfortunately I am aware of the difficulty issue. This was my first GMTK and I think I was too busy making some stumper levels using these mechanics, I forgot to properly tutorialise and adjust the difficulty curve. I will try to fix those issues after the rating period tho.
I love me some sokoban and this is an ingenious concept but I'll be honest I did not get very far in this game. I was stumped real early on. You must be a real big brain hero!

Level 1 GoblinVery nice entry, simple but efficient, feels very smooth and I love when people use lesser known frameworks to make their games in. The difficulty does ramp up very fast, but that is a balancing issue that holds true for most game jams. Very impressive, well done !

Forest FireIt's really cool! Love the idea. It's challenging some times but I like that.

Craving LightNeat concept! While I found the mechanics to be a bit confusing, it felt awesome to finally solve whichever puzzle I was stuck on. Great work!

Dungeon MasterHow come every PuzzleScript game I've played always has very good level design? I love the gimmick and the "heaviness" mechanic too. I still have a couple of levels to finish off but I love it when puzzle games get straight into the meat of a concept. Well done!
