Our first reference came from Yoshi's Cookie, but later we also made the connection to Labyrinth.

Thanks for all the kind words :) On the "smoke monster" (aka the Burrower, since he's "supposed" to be underground) there are two ways to get rid of him: either steer him into an exploding bomb... or just shift the ground underneath him right off the board! Once he's off the board, he can't follow you anymore. (Another hint: walk one way and shift the opposite way to walk the ground like a "treadmill", standing in one place while shifting everything off-screen. This is the best tactic to get rid of the burrowers)
@NAMKCOR: On the theme, the garden wasn't the only intended use. The original concept was "tiny world", as in the world itself is only 8x8 tiles, and you're shifting new things into that small space. Maybe it didn't come across as neatly as we hoped.
