I have to say the fact that I was able to figure out how the puzzle worked - what I was meant to do - with no instructions in about 60 seconds is a good sign. I'm also immediately kind of addicted to this....I really like it. The one thing that annoys me is that I can't see what a symbol is if the dog/bunny is on it because it's covered up. It's hard to remember when there's so many. Some transparency or slight desig…

In a similar vein, when both dog and bunny are on one field, I can't choose which one to pick up.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> saw that it would be necessary FYI It's not necessary to solve the puzzle. Also it seems to have issues on FF/Linux because when I did stack a dog and a rabbit I could only then select the dog.

It is necessary to stack the rabbits on each other at the carrot, no?

Oh haha, yeah I guess so then. Sorry, I missed that.

Feedback: 1. It was good enough that I finished. This is success! Good job! 2. It took me too long to realize characters could occupy the same space, and the game doesn't draw characters occupying the same space very well. 3. The flashing lights at the end are too fast, slow them way down and it will still look good. You'll probably only have to change a number in your code.

>> It took me too long to realize characters could occupy the same space

I solved it in under 15 minutes or so (multitasling and I didn't time myself) .. and at no point did I even attempt to have two characters on the same space or pass through each other .. other than the final goal of two bunnies on the carrot.

Clearly:

* I'm to dumb to have tried !!

* It can be solved with with a "only ever one character on an intermediate non goal tile" .. although that is probably a slighty longer fiddlyier way of doing things.

When dog and rabbit are on the same node, it was somewhat hard for me to pick the right one to move (on mobile Safari), but I eventually managed. Very nice game.

Did you manage to? I couldn't choose the other one. (I forgot which one it was.) Even now on desktop it keeps picking up the dog and can't choose the rabbit.
