Whenever I make a mistake, I can immediately see where I went wrong, and I immediately want to retry to do better next time.\n\nMy only complaint is that the undo button isn't super helpful for solution exploration, because of how many moves you might have to undo, once you've realized you've gone down a dead-end - It would have been *really* nice to have an \"undo to last turtle\" button as well, because the time I spent undoing meant that it would be faster to restart 90% of the time instead of hitting undo.\n\nBut dang, this is a *ton* of fun.  I spent about a half hour playing so far, and I *will* be back to try to 100% all of the turtles.  :)  Great job!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1184190,"author_name":"LDJam user 378081","author_uid":"378081","epoch":1760469595,"text":"Good luck @koolruz ;-)\nYou're right, an \"undo to last turtle\" is well-thought !

That led to a massive moment of realization that I *didn't* need to grab the turtle on the far right to start, and could use the same staircase pattern to sneak in\/out of the far right lock, which was also so good.  And the fact that I had to put that far right turtle all the way to the left of my massive tower in order to keep from getting too tall was such a fun eureka moment!
