Fun puzzler. Really liked the music. Took me a maddening amount of time to light up the second gate (?) I came across. Kept getting the pieces in *just* the wrong order. Probably the best puzzle game I've played yet this time around though.

Fine game but font needs to be more readable.

Thanks for the reviews!
TideS: yeah I agree about the font, I wonder if I could hack puzzlescript to use a better one or something
Puppetmaster: would you mind saying something about what you didn't like about the gameplay?

Sweet little puzzler. And pretty challenging too. (For me at least :))

Love the complete mood. Took me some time to understand what all this is about. Maybe it was the level of graphical abstraction that made it difficult.
Yay more reviews! Thanks so much everybody I'm really glad you like my game : )

This is lovely! I think it's a good length.
Nice way of doing pulling as well as pushing, too.
I voted the gameplay negative because of the puzzlescript limitations. Hand from the player stick on the stone, need to change direction to take it away. When you need to do it one a small place, it feelt negative.
Draknek: Thanks so much! Really glad you liked it
Puppetmaster: OK, thanks for the feedback. I tried the "grab on" mechanic as a way to allow pulling blocks without forcing you to pull when you don't want to, and I think overall it works pretty well, but yeah having to move sideways to let go is sometimes counterintuitive. I'd love to hear suggestions if you have an idea for a better control scheme.
Very nice soundtrack :)
Thanks nonetheless!
Great game. The puzzles are good. The graphics are simple but nice. The music and sound are calm and relaxing. Story is interesting. Only problem is I didn't figure out how to end it, just kept wandering and then got lost and gave up...
Font is hard to read, and I don't like the idea that I can talk with someone only once. I like very mych possibility to undo! I think it's first time I saw undo in such type of game and reaction is very positive. Also nice dialogues, makes a game mood. Keep going making games!
Thank you for the reviews OinkIguana and wdebowicz!
Agree with comment about text being difficult to read.
The puzzles are well-designed, it was fun to play!
Thanks for playing it, AdricZero and dancingmad!

It is said that this is a good game. Visuals could be better but the story was a good addition. Well done!
