The only winning move is to not play #EldenRing

2/6: Chaos Lab is a short original Game Boy block-pusher puzzle game by Robert Doman. Don your hazmat suit, learn the materials, and try to follow the vague orders of your employer. Resetting and trying again is part of the process! Just try not to spill the hazardous materials... #mangotronics #employmentcollection #indiegame

Suppose I should try taking sequential guesses into account as well...

Pretty happy with this

I'm finally cracking open the Play Date SDK... and there's definitely a reason why I'm a programmer rather than an artist:

hot take: "please wait" UI should pivot from spinning loops to spinning spirals. loops are spiritually dishonest. we never enter the exact same moment twice.
