If you would add undo (step back), hold to move and ability to rebind controls (or at least dupe WASD with arrow keys), it would be a much more pleasant experience. However even without those this is a very neat and smart puzzle. Takes some time to understand mechanics and how it is different from sokoban, but once you do -- it becomes really fun. Good job! :)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1104098,"author_name":"Sheepolution","author_uid":"sheepolution","epoch":1728570364,"text":"I'm absolutely stumped on the level with the 2 sigarets and the 6 and 5. I feel like I have tried every single possible route, and with no success. Anyway, it's a nice variant on the sokoban genre, and the horn mechanic is clever. It's unfortunate you used this common Kevin MacLeod music. There's plenty of music to use on websites like Newgrounds (double check the license) that will not only sound new, but will also fit better with the theme of your game. The sound effect when moving is very low quality. This is *the* sound of your game, so it should have extra priority in that it sounds good. In your sprites you have animations that they move up and down, but instead of doing that in your animation, you could also have done it programmatically. That way the movement would be smooth, and your game overall would look more clean, I think. Nice game!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1104390,"author_name":"Beeb GameCodeCompany","author_uid":"beeb-gamecodecompany","epoch":1728577589,"text":"I beat it, buuuuuuuut damn.

About the level with the 2 sigarets and the 6 and 5, there are serveral solutions, and the key point is when you enter the right side of the level, try to make the end of the team to be at a good position and then reverse the team.

I played all the way till the end. That last level was brutal haha\n\nSome feedback:\n- I had idea how many aliens I started each level with. Thinking about it now... Did each level start with the amount I ended up with last level?\n- make numbers face right side up for the movable pieces (6 and 9 are confusing now)\n- The R key is right next to the E key.
