It's been a while I've seen a rare, special, brilliantly designed puzzle game arrives on Kong, and this is one of them. While there are some stuff that could need some improvements, if you just sell me this as it is, for a low price, I'd just buy it. Great game you have here!

I'm really not sure how the ranking for this game is lower than some idle games that were thrown together in a week or two. Whatever, great game. This Metroidvania meets puzzler style is interesting.

This is great: a really innovative & challenging puzzle game, with plenty of levels that seem impossible at first and then give you that satisfying moment of revelation when you crack them! I also like the multiple goals in many levels, but this can be a bit of an obstacle when you aren't sure which set of blueprints to use with which puzzle.

needs to be able to restart one blueprint, not just the whole level. Or even better a save function, nothing is worse than carefully arranging boxes and switches and one careless step too far wiping the progress of the past five minutes

Cool concepts and I like the game so far but I reeeeally wish you hadn't picked the space bar, the button that is typically "jump" or "scroll through menu/dialogue" in other keyboard-based games, as the button for "monumentally mess up the level if pressed accidentally" in this one :/

Noted! I've added an option in the options menu to switch the key that discards your blueprint from SPACE to BACKSPACE. Hope that helps!
