Credits:
Everything you see, do, and hear in this game was made possible through the work of Twitter's @Jack_Will_Tweet, or as I'm known elsewhere, TheRulerOfOats. I made all of the sounds through either onomatopoeia or banging my knuckle on a nearby object. I would've added more puzzles to the game than the few I did, but I ran out of time. No base code was used, and as such, development began the moment the theme was announced up until now. Special thanks to Midnight Synergy for inspiring this game, and @GoDieDutchbag for supporting me al the way through. Look out for my larger-scale freetime project 'Oltroy and Friends' on my YouTube channel 'TheRulerOfOats'. See you later!

Not exactly an original idea, but the way it's executed is really cool. super fun to play and the levels are interesting.

An interesting game, but to have to restart the entire level when you make a mistake is a bit harsh for my taste :P

The ideas is good, the level design is great. The only thing that really kills this is having to start wayy over a level when you die. A very good submission though!

Sokoban mixed with A boy and his blob ;) Fun game. I especially like how all the audio is made by mouth XD

Gameplay is funny, needs a bit polish but level design is cool. A issue you could improve, bean inventory UI covers part of the map, it would be nice if you found a way to not.
Nice entry

Fun little puzzle game. I like how it was obvious what each form was supposed to do when I saw the form and the puzzle lay-outs. That's actually tough to manage sometimes, but you nailed that aspect of it without holding the player's hand and giving specific instructions about what each shape can do.

Good job!
