Disclaimer, I didn't pay for the game, I got it from a free code from the dev's youtube community.

That said, what a charming and fun game. The animation is cute, the music is delightfully chill and the puzzles are fun. A great way to spend a couple of hours.

Having followed GMTK for a while this speaks to a lot of what he talks about in the channel.

I have a few minor critiques, but they're by no means deal breakers for me.
1. I wish it were longer, but if level packs were offered later, or if there became a way for the community to add their own puzzles I could see that making the game a stand-out.
2. The story is thin. I know in one of the dev-log videos he decided to sacrifice this in order to get the game out, and it's a fair balance to get a project finished.
3. I wish there were an obvious way to dismiss the "hint" prompt on a level where you've restarted a few times, again it's a hard balance to prompt the player to use a hint, but on one level I had missed the mechanic that was trying to be introduced and though I was determined to figure it out the hint prompt eventually annoyed me into using it.

For me those aren't deal breakers. This game evoked for me the feel of the first time I played Portal. When the mechanism becomes obvious and the solution works it has a great feeling and this captured that in a really satisfying way.
