The embedded version doesn't work and the itch.io page doesn't exist, sorry but I couldn't play it

Made it to Level 6? (the first one with moveable dirt)! its really easy to understand & play and looks good, Thank you for making this! Only critique: sometimes the creatures were overlapping and it was hard to activate pushers.

I really liked the idea, really cool puzzle :) I think the lack of tutorialization makes it hard to understand. I got stuck at level 2 because i didn't know how to raise the arms :( But apart from that, great job!

The concept of a tiny creature cleaning your dishes is really cuter and fun. I liked the eating animations, it added a lot to the character.
A couple of things I think you could improve. The speed of the character is very slow, especially falling, it makes the game more tedious than it needs to be.
Some inputs seem to be a bit delayed, for example the guys that lift, often wouldn't always respond to my inputs.
The timer also feels a little unnecessary (maybe it comes in on later levels?), I think maybe you could give players a score instead of having to wait on the creature.
The puzzle solving was fun and an interesting take of the theme.

I liked the theme, and love a puzzle game! It might add to the fun if there was a fast forward button (to increase the movement speed).

Nice puzzle part. I'd like to have some kind of button to speed up time! Anyway, nice entry!

The idea is good but the dishwasher is really slow and there's no way to fasten it. It could be better if clicking on the washer could speed it up.
That being said, I can see a good base for puzzle game here.
