this game is a pleasure to play.

I love this game! It's so cute and fun to play! ^^

Fantastic game! Clicked on it at random and wasn't expecting it to be nearly as good as it was.

Really enjoying the game! However, I got a bug report: Both in the web version and the downloaded version (ran through WINE)... I'm not sure if something else triggers it, but what I did was skip all the dialogue and the tutorial, and the final cutscene for level 2 gets stuck on the first line of dialogue - and Esc doesn't let you skip. This doesn't happen in regular gameplay, as I got halfway through level 3 in a previous run, which I had to interrupt.

This is really tough, I wish I could *always* see where the pieces will end up... I like the art and music, at least! The characters (I've been able to reach) are all really charming..!

This game experience is a great analogue for my day to day life: aim for something strategic for a great payoff, only to miss by a hair and backfire at myself 🙃

Great work! The ending is cute! If you add a 2 player mode, I'm sure tourneys will run it 😈
