The best butler ever. Nice job. Nice remaster of the old takoban game style. The trick of the sound spreading is very clever.

The best butler ever. Nice job. Nice remaster of the old takoban game style. The trick of the sound spreading is very clever.
Absolutely in love with this game, finished all the levels and was challenged throughout! Would play another 90 levels.
This was fantastic, best one so far. Congratulations. Very fun puzzle with a pretty cool mechanic I have never seen before. Great use of the theme as well.
Edit: Removed the spoiler
Would play more!
Creative! I got stuck at level 7, I didn't really understand why the butler was not moving.
This game is really cute! I love how much depth it has while being so simple.
i love the concept it's quite original, would love to see this expanded upon
Oh, I like it! The gameplay and idea is quite rare and implemented nicely.
I can't seem to beat this level. I'm so dumb; it's impossible HAHA. Still, I really like the concept and the simple art style. Good job!

Very fun puzzle! I like how it is done, tiny levels and cute pixelart. Also thanks for great hints before each level - lot of games miss some tutorial or help so it is not easy to understand how to play them.
@online-play small hint: player himself also blocks sound of bell, so it matters where are you standing
Absolutely genius. You could definitively make a whole game out of this. The fact that the player also blocks the sound is such a nice detail that could add to the depth and complexity of the puzzles.
I like the concept and it's a good game.
Wow, totally amazing. I love the concept and the puzzle idea is so clever! Perfect!
Great idea and nice simplistic design. Can't get through this level tough: Posnetek zaslona 2024-04-17 171954.png
Really love this puzzle, good game. Level 7 was so difficult for me :DD photo_2024-04-17_21-08-39.jpg
Simple game but hard gameplay) -Am I dumb? -No, it's okay.
Very interesting and unusual puzzle mechanic! I have completed all levels)
cool game!
The concept is really cool and the puzzles are well thought through! great game!
cool concept
Nice idea, great implementation!
Really great game, with a genius and minimal mechanic that works really well with the theme. Good job also with the level design (without it the game would not work at all) and with the general level of polish. Bonus point for the bell SFX :D
I love this game and idea, hope to see more levels in the future!
Definitely something worth expanding on, great puzzles!
Solid game, nice puzzles. Good job.

Props to @graal for their much-appreciated hint for level 5. ^_^;
A brilliant little puzzle game. I'd love to see it expanded with more levels, more mechanics, and maybe even some fancier graphics.
This is brilliant. Haven't seen a unique take on these sokoban style puzzles in years! Sound and graphics all great, but the most important thing about these kinds of games is slowly ramping up the difficulty from first principles, which you've also achieved well.
Would like to see some real brain scratcher levels using this concept!
Wow, very creative concept with great levels. The fact that the player itself blocks the sound let to some cool solutions. Great entry!
Great puzzle game i made it all the way to the end :) The only thing i would change is the level order some levels in the end felt easier than some in the beginning
This interpretation of the theme is smart! (We've done something similar; I'm getting excited to see another puzzle game design on this theme ^ ^) Nice exploration of the mechanics with many nuances introduced in a short sequence of puzzles. The visualisation of sound is a great design in presentation aiding the player's understanding. I'd expect that if this is expanded further, a very fun, immersive experience will arise. I also like the sense of humour in the messages!
wow great game! I got stuck on the first hole level but @graal 's comment helped me out. I read the first comment on this game wrong thinking there was gonna be 90 level, was sad when it stopped at only 10. Good Job!
Had a lot of fun, struggled a little but made it to the end!
I liked the puzzle design ( I had the feeling that there's a difficulty spike around level 7, is it just me? ).
It seems there are two level 7's, and the second level 7 relies on the simultaneous hearing mechanic that isn't explained until level 8. That issue aside I enjoyed the game. I agree with other commenters that you could get more levels out of this mechanic. One interesting interaction that I noticed was being able to ring the bell with a box, although I'm not sure if you could make an interesting level around that.
