Fun game but why does it keep getting slower like there's a memory leak or something. It seems to persist after reloading a scene, are you continuously creating objects without deleting them?

Weird, it's slow for me now too. Didn't used to be like that hmm.

Ok, this should be fixed now

Clever mechanics. Seems simple but just one mistake prevents escape.

so simple, yet so clever and effective as a puzzle! very satisfying crunchy gameplay too, I love the weight of my little dude throwing themself into a wall of dirt

So after trying for days, tired and not dedicated, I got it. Clear board. Very satisfying. MOW just a day or 2 later, I CANT FOR THE LIFE OF ME do it again, cant remember how I did it, just ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Like SERIOUSLY Soooooo close

go back to when there was 4 and you can figure it out, thats where i got stuck then i solved it

Oh no! There’s definitely a trick to the end part

Lovely stuff. Great way to kick off the CONFOUNDING Calendar. I'm constantly surprised when I see a new way to play a puzzle game. Bravo.

Neat! 🙂 Satisfying to solve. And also satisfying to navigate a level where it seems like there might be multiple paths, but it's carefully constructed to just have 1 path.

Really nicely designed. The way the level space grows as you play, effectively having multiple difficulties within the one level is clever!

Very satisfying solve (although I did have extensive use of Z) : )
