About Conservation of Bass
Each level is a small physics riddle built on the law of conservation of mass: you can't add or remove material, only shuffle it from one place to another. You move with the arrow keys or WASD, warp with X or L, and restart instantly with R when a plan collapses.
It's a jam game, but players call it polished, and the sound design gets laughs. The later levels are real head-scratchers, so it suits puzzle fans who like a tough, clever rule pushed as far as it will go.
