The previous demo was intentionally long so that I could gather as much feedback as possible. This new version has a much more appropriate length of only 17 puzzles. The full game will have nearly 300. The demo covers: [olist]
- 20-60 minutes reaching the "end screen", and
- 30-90 minutes completing all 17 puzzles.
- Old solutions are saved. Re-entering a puzzle you've completed will put you at the end of the puzzle. You can still undo/reset to play the puzzle again, or perform many undos followed by redos to replay your solution.
- Entering puzzles through the menu is more streamlined, particularly with regards to (end-of-demo spoiler) [spoiler]bringing items into levels[/spoiler].
- Animation of locks being destroyed when a level is completed.
- Visuals updated with much more biome variety.
- Main menu updated to be more streamlined, and with new artwork.
- Improved UI in menus and in-game.

🕹️ Partial Controller Support
🎮 Full Controller Support
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.
