A fun Sokoban! There's an unintended mechanic I abused where you can drop a crate on your wizard and still proceed. This lets you solve some puzzles trivially, but a lot of the ones with space restrictions and gates were not as affected. Overall well done!

Noooo. I was enjoy it heaps, but I think there is a bug with the 'clone' box ability and I wasn't able to proceed. This was very enjoyable. The puzzles were smart. Yes like @ollie-d said, there is also a bug where you can plow through boxes because the bird lets you drop a box on your head and still move forward. Otherwise this was great.I had no audio though, was there audio?
Oh yea except the bug exploit very well made. Also I tried to click on abilities some key tooltip indicator would be helpful.
Good reinterpretation of sokoban game with invocation of pet ! I like the voxel graphics ! The use of the bird make the game little easier, and you can abuse of some bug (character don"t die or stay glitch when box fall on it for example). Good job !

@lexgear Cloning is working at least mechanically, but sadly there is no feedback when you cast it. You need space between you and the box you want to clone. I know it's bit unintuitive.

Wonderful entry! It feels very cozy, and the puzzles are great brain teasers. The game is very well put together, and besides the "phasing box exploit", it is impressive how solid it feels. And, huge props for the tutorial and hints! :) Great work!! (oh, and the animal companion is very cute! and, the voxel graphics and animations are excellent, too.) (PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention too, that the innovations here are very clever, and the ways they are represented in the world feel great and in-line with the theme of the game.)

A cool puzzle game! It was enjoyable to play, and the playable tutorial in the first level is clear.
Just a small remark: I was a bit confused about the transition between levels. Perhaps adding a fade effect with a brief period where input is disabled (just to release the current key and not move directly into the next level) would be helpful. Anyway, Well done !

A wonderful sokoban, being able to walk through one block really does the trick. I got completely confused on the second Clone level, the one with three gates on the right, can't really wrap my head around it. Always cool to see something new in sokoban genre, at least to me!

AMAZING compo (!!!) entry! Was really impressed with both the quality and quantity of the puzzles, they were all really creative and fun. Graphics were also really polished. The cloning mechanic could have been explained better and audio would have been nice, but otherwise the game was shockingly great. Keep up the great work!img.png
There is so much content for a solo developed game in 3 days, really impressive! I also get stuck at the box-cloning level. Maybe it is still buggy or I do not get the mechanic. Would love to come back and play the rest of the game when this is fixed :D
Edit: I got it now! you have to look at a box you wanna clone... did not know that you can just turn by holding shift.
Edit Edit: Im stuck at the last lvl. It cant be done 100% change my mind
Edit Edit Edit: Ok I did it. These puzzles are tricky wow :D

Good work! Nice puzzles, easy to pick up. If I had a suggestion it would be that the controls feel a little loose, i made a couple of accidental pushes, particularly when entering new levels.

Wow the last one was epic, I was like "it doesn't compute" for several minutes, until I realized that you can do *that thing*. Really loved your game!
