I think the shining achievement of this game was that when I felt stuck, I didn't feel the urge to quit. Because the list of solutions to each of the puzzles was so short, I felt like, worse case scenario, I brute force it and see what happens. This game had a very nice retro feel, even down to the controls being weird, which was both a blessing and a curse. There were a few puzzles that I felt like didn't make a lot of sense, and a couple leaps in logic. And I will admit, I was stuck in the very opening room because I didn't know why the things I was trying to transform the rock into didn't work, because even if you have a form selected that you don't know, the transformation sound effect and animation still play, just the form won't change. Instead, I think having a 'fail' sound effect and/or a dialogue that says 'you haven't found this form yet!' would be helpful. Otherwise, a very fun and solid little game.
