Chocolate box factory by BoltKey
Before I entered this LD, I decided I wanted to make a grid puzzle with possibly random generated levels, as I made some already and knew they can be done fast. Which I did. It actually took me just about 18 hours, or one day. I feel like it is finished though.
UPDATE: I just made a very slight change of defaulting the music to muted and decreasing volume of the win sound. I hope that can still go into the compo version and doesn't break the rules.

The music is pretty awful, but the graphics are not at all what I expected after your blog post. It's likely that simpler, stylistic graphics would ultimately work better, but these are by no means awful. Just perhaps a bit noisy for your puzzles with the candy pictures. You weren't at all wrong to experiment with graphics, even if they don't ultimately fit this game as well as they might a different kind of game. :)
The puzzles themselves are very good! The mechanic of having some switch to squares works nicely. We have to work out if it's necessary, and if so, on what piece or pieces. Full marks for Fun :)
Thanks for sharing this! I enjoyed it quite a bit.
This is a game I'd like to keep playing later on.
Sometimes it's hard to select the pieces, but I like this game a lot.
With some polish (more exciting sound effects, flashier art) you would have a pretty nice little puzzle game you could probably sell on an app store.
Random puzzle generation is an awesome bit of polish for a compo entry.
Great game! I love puzzle games like this. The biggest problem is that the control to switch between normal and boxed shape is really hard to use.
Also the music doesn't loop perfectly, which makes my hair stand on end. But the mute options make that not an issue.
I love that it's randomly generated and that the puzzles are still reasonable. Great work!
