This game has a very different game mechanic. It's simple but sometimes I found it challenging. Also I like the level designs and the visual aspect.

On the Light Box Heavy Box level I can't push red button with box 😒

Congratulations for winning GMTK 23!

Thank you! For the box level you have to turn gravity up once the box is on the button

Ah! It's worked! Thank you!
