Very interesting idea! Puzzles can be further complicated, but even with such obstacles I had to think about solution a little longer. Cool design, a good plot and atmospheric music! Great job!

Very good graphics and music. The background story is very interesting. The puzzles are challenging enough but I couldn't find a way to reset a level in the HTML version. This is the biggest drawback. Also, the connection with the theme is tenuous. Otherwise, an unusual game with an remarkable storyline.

Nice work on the level design! Most of these levels look easy at first but are a really good challenge in practice. The limited number of moves each level is a nice restriction and actually helps you understand what to expect. The character animation and tile designs are pretty neat, too!

The game is very good! Animation, Art and background music are perfectly matched! It would be possible to add sounds for stones and a level reset button! Thanks!

Neat little game! Reminds me of old school pokemon strength puzzles where you have to move the right boulder to the right place

Great puzzle game but I don't see how it's possible to solve the one that has a movable block on every tile in the 2nd last column. Perhaps I missed something.

@jelliott, so:
you need to push two objects that are next to the target on the last column and you will have one object that is opposite the target on the penultimate column, you push it down the column and a passage opens for you

Really cool game. The controls and the puzzles were very intuitive. It was a bit of a challenge, but I think the difficuly is balanced well.

This is a pretty solid puzzle game. I was enjoying it but then the game bugged out when I restarted a level and now it won't load when I try to refresh it. Not sure what would cause this but it was an unfortunate bug. Either way, good job!

Nice writing, but maybe too many dialogs for a puzzle game ? Maybe it's just me
By the way good game !

I'm not very huge fan of puzzles and maybe because of this I didn't enjoy game at all.
Music is a music, just a music for random chill process.
Art, I think player much brighter than other objects, that not looks good. Also UI needs huge redesign because story seeming very boring of this.
Story I didn't get at all because UI was so indispensable and too much text about what? And this is no connected to the gameplay process(I'm not about content, but about way to storytelling), like characters, NPCs or smth else. Will be cool if there would be secret ways to a book with strange words. Or visual connection with really her memories after levels. It is interesting it makes secret, it connected to the game.
Puzzles, I bored from forth one. Would be awesome if you have added a auto-restart function, because if you play in browser when you are pressing ESC you close full-screen mode.

Overall, as for me, game seemed boring and no-story

@asasin56 thanks for ur honest opinion, I appreciate it, it's okay to make something not perfect, it is only a game jam, I cant say anything about ui and so on, only one thing that I can say, that auto-restart is not smart option because if a player reaches the limit, but he already found right way(so he should not move obstacles anymore), this auto-restart function would restart successful level, would be better to create a button for restart without using ESC, but it is what it is, thanks for ur review!
