great stuff. i really enjoy the behaviors and interactions that are in here but that don't really factor into the solution. does a lot to make this one level feel like a place. thanks!
Hey, I really enjoyed this! It was tightly designed, and I had fun working through it.
Ah, also, as the developer of puzzle script I'd really like to include a version of this in the puzzle script gallery - this game isn't made with puzzle script but I can with two small tweaks (tweak the final message string, and changing one 'again' to 'random') make it work - would I have your permission to make these changes, host it as a GitHub gist, (linking to this url, say?)
Wow thanks! I'm glad you really enjoyed it :)
Yeah I'm happy to give you permission to make changes and host it on the puzzle script gallery, I'd be quite honoured actually.
I originally made this in puzzle script so most of the code I think would work. One patch I did was with 'once' to ensure the pipe splash sound plays once instead of 2-4 at the same time, but that hopefully is a small tweak as well.
Let me know if there's anything you need to help out.
Added your game to the Gallery :). Thanks again for the nice game!

( Also, 'once' already exists in vanilla puzzlescript, but it's called 'random' (it picks a random place to apply a rule once 🙃). )
Very satisfying! I reached a point of contemplating some pretty elaborate solutions, but then it finally clicked. So it strikes the unusual balance of being harder than it appears then simpler than it seemed like it would be :)
really tricky! understanding the end goal and working backwards helped a lot in figuring this one out. very fun :)
I was struggling with the game and thinking "Oh dear god, I am already struggling on the first level", but luckily the game is only one level long
that's what the confounding calendar is about
Despite how it straightforward it looks, this one was tough! Great puzzle design.
somehow i did it. challenging puzzle, i needed to prepare a lot before doing it
Very nice! Deceptively tricky :)
Simple, and trickier than it looks! Really well designed! :)
I have spent more than an hour trying to figure out how to solve this puzzle. Great job
For those struggling with the rapid movement, try holding Shift.
Thank you for pointing this out. Should be patched now.
I did it!! Dang, that was really satisfying. Took me a while to come up with a viable strategy, but I loved how once things started falling into place, I knew I must be on the right track and was able to iterate from there. Great job!!
Great entry, had a bit of a hard time solving it but it was because I looked to deep into the game, knew I’d love to solve this!
Cool parity-ish mechanics and not too complicated
Very tricky! Felt weird to work backwards to end up in the right spot.
