Hi, overall pretty good, some of the puzzles really had me stumped for a bit with a satisfying conclusion when I found the solution.
Now the criticism:
The game doesn't realy seem to know quite what kind of game it's trying to be
The puzzle aspect is the main part and there are several good puzzles
The general platforming part feels a bit clunky without diagonal movement but it supports the puzzles well
The precision platforming is mostly just the one level with the ledge which feels kind of out of place
The levels where a large part of the puzzle is finding the cube hidden in plain sight feel more like cheap ticks or trolls than interesting puzzles
The controlls could be communicated a lot more clearly
There is no indication in the first puzzle that the mouse is in any way involved in the game
The way you interact with the levers is not really explained
You have a system for drawing instructions in the levels with the wasd sign on the ground, you could add instructions for the mouse and levers relatively easily I would assume
The game mechanics could be communicated more clearly
Initially it felt pretty random how the physics interacted with cubes not under my control, At some point it became clear, but you could have dedicated a level or two just to having the player figure out what the rules are before having a puzzle where understanding the nuances of the rules is necessary for solving the puzzle
To be clear: I don't think you should tell the player the rules, but you could make a simple puzzle where the difference between levers and cubes becomes clear without that difference being part of the solution.
I don't think the background fits in with the rest of the game
Overall, a lot of potential, but also a lot of room for improvement
