Ha ha, thanks for the funny play through. I enjoyed watching that. It made me cringe a few times though. "No, why does he go there? Again? Why? Why doesn't he just do X?"
Btw, the fact that you can skip a level in the level selection menu is by design, to reflect the game's difficulty. At least there will not be a single level that blocks your progress. There are always two levels you can try to beat in order to unlock a new one.
Anyway, I will pass the compliments wrt to the music on to my brother, who composed the tracks. Happy to hear you at least enjoyed that part.
Well, I did enjoy all of it. It was just REALLY hard. I know there's like a pattern that you have to figure out but I just couldn't do it. Overall, if I'm being a serious adult, it is a well crafted game definitely intended by hardcore gamers. Me, I tend to take things a bit loosey goosey though and just have fun. Overall, very impressive. And I love Pico-8 games.
In Chrome, if you open the dev tools, you can simulate a phone with touch controls, reload the page and see what the controls look like for different phone sizes.
I will definitely follow up on your suggestions to support touch controls. It looks fairly straightforward, and nice to have the game playable on mobile devices as well.
Btw, I like your Bubble Pond game. It's an original puzzle idea, and quite challenging, which I like.
I'm pretty much done with that game but there always seems to be something else to add :) At the moment, I'm working on Undo support which should make the game a little more fair.

I thought this game would be slightly easier...but it wasn't. It was so friggin hard. I loved the music though.

Nice work!
Consider checking out this template with touch controls for phones:

I use a modified version here:

Bumble Bots now has touch support. It's based on the template you suggested, but also customized. Thanks again for the suggestion!
