The game was short, but it's a common thing for puzzle games in LD. I think later, bigger shapes wouldn't be useful, I completed most of the game as mouse. Also, looks like the wolf shape didn't make it into the final product, did it?
I found a bug in level 5: The top-left corner tile is actually(?) a solid block.
I do think you should add a 'go back one turn' button, 'cause it's frustrating to have to restart the whole thing just for one move.
I did beat it though.
controls are a little strange (and hard because we don't have a "one step back" button, and often do too steps)...
it doesn't look as good as a whole though. some colors seem off and gameplay-wise it's hard distinct interactive from non-interactive.
