Here's your screenshot :)

There is some issue - on 144hz monitor boxes are not pushable very often, and then I moved to 60hz one and everything became playable again. I'm pretty sure it depends on the monitor - maybe something happens if too little time passed since last frame on level reset?
I think that the error you are facing has to do with delta calculations that I forgot to include, I would like to fix it but I don't know Ludum Dare's policy on fixing bugs.
I hope you enjoyed the game!
*this maaaarrrrrrio reference is good ^^
My only other complaint is, at least in WebGL in chrome, once the Alternation rule in place, if you turn rapidly back and forth too quickly it seems to kill you, I'm _reasonably_ confident I pressed the keys in the correct order. It made midair turns extra hard in some spots.
Also I had the issue mentioned by kuviman on a 144hz monitor. Other than that everything was good.
Nice job!

Got it!
The only problems I really had with it were the fact that past rule 3, pressing 1 at the start of the level kills (tripped me up during the final level but was fine otherwise), past rule 3, pressing 1 and 3 simultaneously kills (i feel like the best solution would be fore the character to keep moving in the last direction moved during it) and that during the final level **5** times I died because of crates clipping in the ground when stood on.
