Great Sokoban-style game! I beat it on my second try, very good puzzle design. I liked the art and the barrels rotating when you pushed them was a nice touch.

The rotation of the barrels was a cute little effect that really added to the game.
The game itself was quick and simple, but had a few tricks hidden up its sleeve. I found myself thinking "wait... if I put that there... What?"
Way to throw a curve ball on which barrel goes where.
I'm not sure if this was intentional, but the timer comes really close on the first barrel, which was perfect.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you could beat it on your second try, because I was afraid it would be a bit on the hard side.

Yes, the game was designed to be simple, yet fun to play. There's nothing so frustrating as making a game nobody is happy playing. Thanks for the comments!
