when in the daily task, the clock is ticking. if you hit esc and open levels, the clock continues ticking.
i assume just opening today's task and then the settings > levels > watch your levels scroll by without being able to grab and pull as it 'loads' all the completed ones, and the clock ticks.
i expected the clock ticking to stop while in the menu

hi! i love the game, ive been so excited for it since the demo:)

on the spoon sort in chapter 2, the big spoon with holes appears to get stuck in the third slot when placed there. other spoons can be placed on top of it as if it is not there, and the spoon itself becomes immovable
PC / Win11 / GMT

the Extracting Eggs achievement... I completed the level in 2 moves, but it did not award. I don't see a world where it's possible in 1. Unsure if it's a bug or if I'm missing a solution that solves it in 1 move.

I'm up to the 'Pet the cat' level. I am on Windows 11 in North Eastern USA. Playing via Steam. on an Omen PC. The screen goes grey only showing the cats eyes enlarged. I click around endlessly to no avail. Looked up to know I'm supposed to see a full on cat to pet with colors around it but I do not see that at all. Just grey screen with big cat eyes. can see pet icon marker near top of screen when I hover, but spam clicking it even did not work.

Restarting level did not fix the issue but restarting the entire game did

Achievements for seeing all hints and skipping all levels are not working. I've been able to skip every level until the final stage (petting the cat) and used hints at every possible timing until the final stage (building a tower)

I've tried to get this after my first playthrough without using any hints or skips, writing down just in case this affects these achievements.

for the Path of Destruction achievement, I've heard that it triggers when you clean the coffee spill in chapter 4. I've cleaned that a bunch of times, and haven't popped the achievement. Dunno if it's a bug or simply a misunderstanding of the trigger requirements. Playing on Windows 11 PC in Midwest USA.

Hey Leafpool, I've spoken with our QA team here regarding this. Here's their answer:
For this achievement, the user also has to remove all the torn leaves on the second part of the level.

Hey ClaryFey, I've logged this with the QA team here and they'll look to fix it. There's no workaround currently. But it has been recorded as an issue.

Hey,
Sorry about that little bug. The QA team haven't been able to repro it; but they have logged it and have said that restarting the level should release the spoon!

Hey tasselfoot, I've raised this with our QA team and they've said that if you reset the level the achievement doesn't currently unlock. It has to be done on the first attempt on loading the level. Also, it may be that you picked up an egg and placed it back down in the same place; but we're certain that would have counted.

We've logged the issue though.

Hey KaoruOda, sorry about the issue you've had with the game; the QA team have been unable to repro the issue here; but they have logged it for furrrther investigation.

And I have the opposite bug (on Windows/PC). I got the achievement for seeing all hints while I didn't see any hint during my playthrough. (I started the game and wanted to see what everything was doing and erased a hint once to try, then I resetted the game in the settings and did a whole playthrough without entering the hint page for any puzzle)

Hi Secret Mode Martin , I hope this message finds you doing well.

After multiple attempts, as well as reseting the game progress, and uninstalling and reinstalling the game, the following achievements unfortunately do not seem to unlock properly :

• "No Squint Hint" for completing the campaign without using any hints.
• "Hint Hunter" for using the hint on every level in the campaign.
• "What Is What Will Be" for skipping every level in the campaign.
• "No Mess Left Behind" for completing the campaign without skipping any level.

As mentionned, I have reset the game progress as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the game and tested each of these achievements individually (except "No Squint Hint" and "No Mess Left Behind" which were both attempted in the same playthrough), but none have unlocked.

Thank you for reporting the issue, and have a wonderful day.

Hey Guillaume, thank you for your message. I am indeed well and I hope you are too. I'm sorry you've experienced issues with those achievements. I will of course feed these back to the QA team for repro with all provided information.

As soon as I know more, I'll let you know. :) Have a good one too.

I've seen I'm not the only one with this but the mouse is mysteriously super jittery and no settings seem to change it? Shouldn't be a performance issue, my PC can run higher end games, so hoping it's something I can fix, was excited to play.

I don't if its because of a bug or I'm just doing something wrong? But i'm stuck on Chapter 5's laptop level. I even looked at the hint, and done the cat thing, but its not completing and no matter what i click, its not working, so I'm stuck with the level being skipped. Windows 10 PC.
