Great job :)
The puzzles were very nice but the absence of an undo button made them too unforgiving.
I would enjoy better controls, like having to press an arrow button for quite some time and move more than one time.
Anyways, those features are usually hard to implement in the jam period. Very nice game! wonderful graphics!
I'm not sure if there is much to say about the gameplay, although I agree with the previous poster that it wouldn't hurt for the puzzles to be a bit more challenging, even if it wasn't quite the point. Though making good head-scratching puzzles in a compo game is an extracurricular task so don't worry about it

- Biggest strength of the game is level design. Fantastic, fantastic level design that is puzzling at first, but makes you feel extremely satisfied when you figure it out (especially for the later puzzles). I wish I had like 100 of these levels, this is great for exercising the brain in a fun way.
- Good tutorial levels make it extremely clear how each element of the puzzles work (and teaches them to you one at a time so that difficulty progression in the game is fair and well-paced).
- The art + sprites are super cute and I love them - they add to an overall calm and pleasant mood for the game.
- One tiny thing is that from time to time, the rain sound effect in the background gets pretty loud and starts to drown out the rest of the bird noises, etc.
I would honestly love to see like 100 levels of this game. If you end up expanding the game at all, please let me know - I really enjoyed it!
My only complaint is that the levels feel too big, and moving around them was tiring for my fingers. Perhaps making the movement more smooth and continuous would improve that.
Amazing game though, I can't believe it only has 12 ratings!
Solid entry, good work!
