I enjoyed the gameplay a lot, I think the rotation and flipping does change the approach to this type of puzzle and I liked it a lot.\n\nWhat I missed was the ability to view the suitcase upfront, but I understand this was a design choice.\nI can see no rating for the music, but I think it was a good selection.\n\nThe only problem I see is that I couldn't resize the game. I think it would benefit greatly from a 2x scaling, I even took a screenshot and can verify it looks awesome in 2x scale as well.\n\nCongrats on the entry, great job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1174702,"author_name":"Pierre Reimertz","author_uid":"pierre-reimertz","epoch":1759962943,"text":"Wow, music is so nice and the artwork \/ design is really beautiful.
