Good puzzles are hard to nail in a game jam, as they usually need time to design properly (I learned that one the hard way). But this is very cool.

But, as was mentioned, its a hard :). I have not enough RAM in my brain to build correct chain of actions :). But idea is brilliant. Maybe you can make a version for mobile with smaller map, better graphics and a bit easier and more concentrated level design(without unused tiles)."},{"author_name":"EvanEGibbs","author_uid":"45698","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 8:46pm","epoch":1418157660,"text":"Awesome puzzle game! The tutorial levels were set up nicely, and it was very unique! I really had to think to finish the puzzles.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There was a huge spike in difficulty which you already knew about, and I wish there was some indicator of how far along in the game I was.
