bugs in the rules, made worse because this level is pushing me into exploring that buggy space to try to figure it out, etc. Maybe I am just being dumb and there is an obvious solution, but even so, I feel like it's the game's fault that I am confused and having a hard time.

Okay, I finally figured it out. The answer is cool but the search space is too confusing and misleading and contains too many weird things. Many indies like to think that graphics don't matter, but this is a case where more communicative visuals would help a *lot*.

I played up to 4.3 or so before it got harder than I had interest in pursuing in one sitting, but I've played many of Jack's games and am more impressed at the consistent innovation within the framework of puzzlescript than polished puzzle design. They are usually made in a week.
