Demo update 0.4 - Revamped progression now with 30 puzzles!I've gathered a lot of feedback on the previous demo, and the consensus is that it was still too difficult. I agree, and I've identified that this was not because of the mechanics or the puzzles themselves, but because the progression was too fast.
Demo version 0.4 completely reworks the world puzzles and the overall organization of puzzles. The early experience is now much more representative of the full release. With 30 puzzles, there is more room for tutorial puzzles without sacrificing too much of the post-game bonus content. Don't worry! There are still difficult puzzles and teases of late-game mechanics that come without any on-boarding. It's just that they are now 100% optional.
The full version of the game is coming along nicely, but I wanted to take this detour to update the demo. It's very important that I get as much feedback as possible, and now that the demo is a better representation of the full game, the feedback will be more valuable. Want to join the conversation?

[ 2024-10-05 22:40:22 CET ] [ Original post ] Get penguins home safely in Gentoo Rescue! Penguins must coordinate with walruses, who just want to escape into the water. Items let you break the rules in progressively more extreme ways. They come with drawbacks, though, so tread carefully.

Featuring
Penguins, walruses, and fish. They bring opposing win criteria, which complements the "blessing and curse" nature of the mechanics.
Rapidly expanding set of mechanics and emergent interactions.
Over 300 diverse, hand-crafted levels that are simple, instructive, but deceptively difficult.
An interconnected network of puzzles with item-based progression and metagame twists.
Journal for tracking mechanics, which also lists entries needed for the current puzzle.
A tiered hint system for when you're truly stuck. These teach a deduction-based approach.
16 biomes distinguishing areas and mechanics.
Original music.

Accessibility
No time-sensitive inputs, with undo and redo binds that work through resets.
Use controller, keyboard, or mouse with customizable binds. (Note: Puzzle editor requires a mouse.)
Colorblind friendly with customizable colors.
Most puzzles are optional for progression, and a setting makes any puzzle skippable.
Map navigation system for quickly returning to anywhere you've been.
Old solutions are saved.
Many other QoL features and options.
