Thicket

A Sokoban style game where you can’t directly push the “boxes”. Strategically use vines to get orbs to their pedestals.

Majority of assets created during the jam, I reused and/or adapted some code and sounds from past jams, most notably:  Menu system, Resolution Manager, splash screen, and level complete sound.

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)_/¯
