interesting and addictive game, although the game malfunctioned for the second part and froze on level 8. for the first part, i think the difficulty is about right, but for the second part, i think moving back seven loops is too harsh on the player. also, i wish there were another key for invert, since by instinct i use space to jump. additionally i overlooked the “shield” part for a while since my eyes were fixed on the center of the screen; maybe a clear outline to the player to show that the shield is active? but overall a polished and fun game.
simple and funny! the platforms are a bit too slippery, but it has good drawings. like others, i was confused about the ghost mechanic; i didn’t recognize “lmb” as “left mouse button” at first. but also the self-referential humour is good
nice aesthetic and fun mechanics! i liked the “up a notch” level because it needed me to think more for a bit (although i solved the first two skipper levels without the skipper, haha).
lol this was a fun one! figuring these out was hard but i eventually figured it out. i also didn’t figure out B until after solving the last puzzle. i had suspected the first puzzle’s gimmick but i did not expect where this would turn.
hint for people who still need to figure it out:all the answers can be written as 1 character, if you go beyond your keyboard and into ascii

you're supposed to get the boxes to their targets to get them solved. the targets are the small squares like in classic run of the mill puzzlescript sokobans.

i've only managed to get TRFILE instead of TRIFLE. i assume the way to solve it is to find a way to go over the top switch without it disappearing, but how do you do that without messing up the order of the word?
at the beginning i didn’t know about the bonus challenge so i was about to say it was a bit easy, but the bonus challenge was tricky to solve. enjoyed it, and i didn’t really know about what the tree functions were before because the explanations on wikipedia had too much mathematical jargon. this is a good way to explain them
i feel like i’m going around in squares here, but i’m stuck on how to get the innermost stone while also making the second-innermost stone. i know how to do one but not the other, but not both of them.
also the mechanics were a bit hard to glean from the playthrough so i’ll just put the rules here:
Rules:
If you are in sand, you can only move in sandy places, and if you are in stone, you can only move in stone. The direction of your feet indicate the gravity.
When you land on one of the square things, you turn clockwise and the layer that your feet are pointing to toggles from sand to stone or stone to sand.
i don’t know what your progress is so i’ll just give two hints, open the first one first and if you’ve already done it you can open the second
spoiler 1what happens when your checkpoint already has something on it?spoiler 2opening the door caused the path to have a gap in it. undo to before you opened that door
this is unrelated to the gameplay but i think it’s interesting how the colour palette can be used in different ways. here it looks very colourful, but Pipe Bind makes it look like an orange palette, and in my submission it looks mostly grayscale with occasional red and yellow objects.
ah good point. either way it would involve some backtracking. if i wanted to have the “retrieve a box out” part but not the backtracking part, i could do it so the small room containing the box is not there, so you need to get it yourself.
additionally, the checkpoints don’t work exactly as a puzzlescript “checkpoint” would work, since only the player resets instead of everything, making it a puzzle element instead of just a quality-of-life feature.
