Instructions in-game. Have fun learning the arcane rules.

Your solutions and custom puzzles are stored persistently. 

NOTE: A11 is impossible, create a custom puzzle with the top and bottom moved apart by 2 extra tiles if you want to try it.  (try not to level design at 3am right before a jam ends lol thank goodness I added a level editor)

BUG: If you rename a solution, any changes you make before clicking another level will be stored to a solution with the old name. To avoid this click another level after renaming a solution. A fix is in the repo and will be applied after rating ends.
