Pretty good puzzles. I think maybe add a little bit of guidance at the beginning, telling players the goal. I spent a good 20 minutes collecting flowers before I realised that you could dig up the tombstones.
Is it meant to be possible to get stuck in spots where undoing is the only way out? I'm coming across a few spots where I'm not sure if I'm softlocked, or if there's a way back out that I'm not seeing. ("Softlocked" isn't really a correct term, since undo does exist, but I can't think of a better term right now.)
Edit: Never mind, I just discovered another mechanic that answered my question here! Turns out there was a way out, I just hadn't realized it. There may be spots where you have to undo a couple of spaces, but the ones that were multiple rooms worth don't seem to actually have me stuck.
gosh this is so so soo good. really clever mechanics, and super clever puzzles despite the limited possibility space! it really feels like you explored the depth of the systems without going overboard. I have a huge soft spot for games that treat everything as just a simple tile in the world with its own rules, it makes it really exciting to explore and figure out how everything works. the additional puzzles are also super satisfying! my only negative experience was [gung v znqr gur vapbeerpg 50/50 thrff ertneqvat jurgure gb pbyyrpg nyy gur sybjref be chg gurz ba gur tenirf, naq unq gb ercynl rirelguvat gb trg gur shyy raqvat. ohg v nyfb yvxr gur zragny pbaarpgvba lbh arrq gb znxr jvgu gur sybjref naq tenirf. vz abg fher gurer’f n tbbq jnl gb cerirag gung!]
Excellent game, loved this. Good length, very approachable. not too difficult while still being satisfying. Enjoyed all the puzzles and the process of discovering the game mechanics and techniques. (Paid all respects)

Nice! I'm happy you liked it and were able to solve all the puzzles. It's always hard to know what the difficulty of your game is in a jam situation where you don't have time to do a lot of playtesting.

I have no idea what should I do.
is there a solution guide? this is pretty hard.

Great puzzle with simple, yet deep mechanics.
