Steam NextFestGentoo Rescue is part of Steam NextFest!
This comes with another round of many small improvements. Here's some of the more noticeable ones that appear in the demo:
[olist]
"Warp" menu to quickly return to old puzzles. This also shows your progress on each level.
Improved UI for [spoiler]importing[/spoiler] items, both manually and through the warp menu.
Smoother zooming in/out with special animations for the animal on the level being zoomed.
Smoke effect on rocket.
New journal entry specifically for launching towards water.
Better bind prompts for mouse.
Wall bump and water splash particles now scale correctly with level size.
An end screen for the demo with a special message.
[/olist]
I'm still hard at work on adding more polish for the final release. If you have any feedback or find any issues, please reach out!

[ 2025-02-24 12:14:56 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.
