    Maaan this is cool.

    Nice puzzles. I should have tried this earlier. I love the art.

    THIS IS JUST ABSOLUTE CINEMA

    o ho ho ho - I was playing it thinking "this smells a bit of heroes of sokoban" not realising the name ^^ very good :) stuck right now, but enjoying! good work!

    Eydi responds:

    Thank you! It means a lot to me to hear that from you.

    I finally beat this without a walkthrough! Some of the best puzzles I played in a while, every mechanic and character had ramifications you needed to consider, combine and use to their fullest.

    I also adore the soundtrack, "Ladies and Gentlemen" was especially great background while studying a puzzle.

    I love the presentation too, the little sounds and animations for moving around really tie it together.

    I do have a minor gripe with the menus, although this could just be personal taste. In RPG Maker 'Z' is to select and 'X' goes back, so having it reversed felt weird. I did have an odd amount of fun holding back on the credits screen though. Going for as long as possible without returning to the main menu sounded like revving a motorbike.

    Eydi responds:

    Whoa, that's so great hear. It's cool that some people put in the time and effort to make walkthroughs, but I love that you went in without having the solutions spoiled. Thanks for the feedback. I should make swapping Z and X optional in an update.
