Player Pack update!
Hello there, it's been a while! First of all, thanks to everyone for the wonderful reception to the game; watching people crack their heads open against it has been a delight.
The original release consisted of 17 levels; it has been described as about the right size. Those levels explore each direct consequence of the mechanics exactly once. This wasn't a decision based on elegance, but on incompetence: I'm uncapable of making more interesting & complex levels. Fortunately, the thinky community isn't! The game shipped with a level editor, which some wonderful folks have used to make new challenges. This update compiles those levels into a single package and makes them avaliable from the main menu. In addition, there are some new mechanics! Hole-covering planks will allow you to walk over a hole, but only once; and picking up hats will allow you to... well, I'll let you figure that one out. These mechanics are explored in the new levels, and now avaliable in the editor (peak evilness might not yet been achieved, so I will still keep my DMs open for new levels). Last but not least, the game features a new logo by Corey Hardt! The new logo fits much better with the game's zelda look, tying the whole thing together and giving it a pro look. Thanks Corey!
Let me close this self-promotion post with some more self-promotion. I'm starting a blog about time travel puzzles; check it out at https://knexator.github.io/time-genres/. It aims to be the go-to resource for anything time-travel-puzzle related. It's still pretty lacking, so do send me all the cool games you find!
This is probably the last of Tres Undos, at least in the foreseable future. I have some new things brewing, so be sure to follow my twitter for future blood-boiling time shenanigans. Thanks for everything!

the new time travel blog looks excellent! one page in particular reminds me of a Greg Egan novel. (hard to be more specific while avoiding spoilers, tho) also, have you seen https://qntm.org/time ?
I didn't know of that blog but it's wonderful, it has everything my blog aspires to. Thanks for linking it!
