Post Jam Update (1.0.6 - 24/09/05)
- Fixed mute button issue.
- Fixed camera issue that caused camera to be too zoomed in..
- Added detail tiles to level 3.
- Took away player control once level complete.
- Pedestals now "deactivate" when an orb is pushed off them.
- Updated wording (
GEMS-> ORBS) of tutorial text.
Sometimes when you press undo nothing happens (but it works if you press it again). The code is too spaghettied so I probably will not fix ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lovely art, cool original mechanic
This music's absolutely incredible!
Had a lot of fun completing all the levels. Very well designed puzzle game with a strong core mechanic!
Nice job.
Really cool game. Some of the levels made me feel stupid and then proceeded to make me feel like a genius.
Very nice! 😎
Thanks Cole!!
