Fun. The wonders that simple mechanics can achieve sometimes.

I prefer the neko puzzle direction, though :)

It’s funny though; if you kept the number of ‘rooms’ less than the number of ‘boxes’ I wonder if there’d be some way to simply generate such things rather than make them manually.

Probably wouldn’t play well. :P

For instance, both boxes could be in disconnected areas :P I’m not sure what restrictions you could make to guarantee reversibility.

but maybe in the levels he’s made this is the case, at least.

What’s really amazing is that I don’t think it’s possible to get stuck (I didn’t need to reset no matter how silly I got with my moves).

Contrary to normally having just 1 block to control where you get stuck pretty much all the time. It makes it a very different kind of puzzle game.
