what i learned:

• - how to create engaging puzzle levels that slowly teach the player mechanics
• - how to work with Unity's tile system to make level creation a breeze
• - creating something for a loved one is very rewarding

challenges i overcame:

• - i found it difficult to create new levels with existing mechanics, but found creative ways to combine them in the end
• - creating levels in such a small area, though this constraint in the end i think added to the game

things i would do different:

• - i would make some of my code more modular, this game could be hard to expand upon without refactoring some systems
• - level 8 feels very cheap as a concept, i would scrap this level and try and come up with something that feels better for the player
