Where do I start? Everything fit well together, the visuals, gameplay, and audio all function in harmony. Which maybe shouldn't be surprising when you can make such a fun game where you solve clues by getting things to work together at the same time like level 4, that's when I really went \"Ooooh\"!\n\nThe soundtrack doesn't sound like the soundtrack to the old Yoshi game for N64, but it triggers the same part of my brain when I listen to it.\n\nI think you balanced the amount of levels you had time to do very well difficulty wise. There was a clear progression and I felt clever each time when I solved the puzzle. Very fun!\n\nThank you for this submission, absolutely up my alley :hearts: \n\n\n![slingshot.png](\/\/\/raw\/776\/6\/z\/6c2eb.png)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1150989,"author_name":"Papaver","author_uid":"papaver","epoch":1744629408,"text":"@belle Thank you for your lovely comment! :heart: And well done on finishing the game!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1152436,"author_name":"Anton Florey","author_uid":"anton-florey","epoch":1744751464,"text":"Wow im very impressed :O This is the most creative game ive seen so far.

I kept replaying each level to get a \"fast\" time (except of level 6, which as you can see was the bane of my existence), and overall just had a great time.
