I'm a casual when it comes to puzzle games, and found myself stuck for frustrating periods of time just on the 3rd and 4th puzzles (did not make it past the 5th). Certain mechanics (like the fact that the turtle can move WITH the mouse, or can also carry rocks) could have been communicated more clearly. But when I did succeed, it felt great! A slower difficulty ramp up would have made this perfect.\n\nAnd the writing is delightful, especially the raven and the toad. I would've given up much sooner if I hadn't been genuinely interested to see what they would say next! I could see myself replaying this!
