Autosaving (New!)
Starting with version 1.1, this game will automatically save your progress to your browser's storage when you enter a hub room. Save data may be lost based on your browser's privacy and storage policies.
You can also skip the tutorial rooms by pausing the game (P, Escape, or Enter) and selecting Skip Tutorial Rooms to warp directly to the main hub.
Version History
- v1.1 (Post-jam update)
- Added autosaving and an option to skip past the tutorial rooms.
- Fixed an issue with pushing into doors (should not affect any solutions, but this works more consistently with other puzzle elements now).
- Fixed some cheese in Dangerous Doors.
- Fixed a visual issue with one of the pits in Unequivalent Exchange.
- Fixed some visual issues with the requirement displayed over doors that need gems to open.
- Infinite bubble animations now animate infinitely (instead of pausing where the puzzle logic part of the game decided to give up).
- v1.01
- Added a door requiring 4 gems to block off the left side of the main map, preventing a new player from coming across those puzzles first.
- Updated The Non-Persistence… to make the shape of the puzzle a little clearer.
- 1.0 Initial release.
Known Issues
- Other color palettes are not available
- Inputs can be dropped

Infinite loop (It gets cut off)
The game should show the “Press Z to Undo” message and let you back out of the infinite. Did it do that?
(The animation does indeed stop after a while; that’s the point where the puzzle logic part of the game decided to stop. It’s a very imperfect way of handling the situation, and I might try to revisit it!)
Well, I didn't get all of them (yet?), but I got George, and that feels pretty good. Good George.
Cool!
Fun game! I *think* I got everything? (14.5)
Nice! Yes, that’s all of them!
