Hi cool game! I wanna contact you regarding this game and have been looking for your email but couldn't find it anywhere. If you're down for a chat, could you email us mrwoofmantic@gmail.com?
Cheers! I sent you an email. You can edit your comment to remove it again if you don’t want it public:D

Grr, 30/30 cleared, but only 10/12 secrets. Really cool little puzzler - would've greatly appreciated if the nonograms stayed solved, I had to re-solve a couple to re-read the hint (also there's an erroneous spelling of a certain word, with US spelling as the title, but UK spelling when typed in a level).
I liked the meta way in which you give the player direction without it feeling too much like direct guidance. That level select is a bit like a labyrinth! I figured out the DVD closed captioning, but I don't know why GPS is full of BS? Also, I never figured out which level I could access the other from, presumably that's one of the secrets I missed?
Very, very neat though, I can see why this performed so well in the game jam. :D
I did not plan ahead when picking the things which make up the DVD and GPS clues. They are completely arbitrary letters which just so happened to spell something kind of meaningful. Making those actual words would be something a revamp would address!
I think there might be a bug with the 30/30 10/12. I suspect you have found everything, even though I don’t know what you’re referring to with “the other level from”.
Thank you very much for playing <3
Oh, I wasn't expecting them to be real words, haha, I was just trying to talk about them in "code" to avoid giving spoilers. :P
For the Labyrinth puzzle, doesn't its nonogram hint say something about accessing that level from another one?
Can't figure out the top passwords for the bottom two levels. Any hints?
I only unlocked the left one. Here’s some hints:
