The exit is always really easy to reach though.  You can in principle speedrun the game without interacting with the fog obstacles at all.  I can see why you did it that way, but I'm not sure if that's a good design tradeoff.\n\nFinding the input sequence to finish the map in one go however felt more like work because one fuckup means starting over from scratch and having to input all instructions again. The morse-code-like input fits the theme but doesn't really make it very efficient to do that unfortunately.  I'd have wished for a way to change like one instruction without having to start from scratch.\n\nThese are small nitpicks though.  I hope I'm not sounding too critical.\n\nCute game though.
