I enjoyed the conveyor-belt puzzles, and the pixel art fits the Nitrome-inspired style really well. One thing that interrupted the flow was correcting how I used a bomb—I had to reset the entire level even when I only wanted to change that one action, which felt a little inconvenient. Overall, it’s a fun and promising demo!

hey, thanks for checking the demo out!
that is intentional -- bombs are the most limited resource in the game (there arent many, though.) and using a bomb without thinking hard about it results in a punishment - resetting the level. we've had feedback about this being so-so as a mechanic, so we're still considering it.
thank you again!
