Puzzle game about finding the right way.
There are going to be 10 (Tutorial) Levels and a sizeable amount of secret levels (<- the interesting part).
For the Game Jam the first 10 Levels will be accessible through the menu and I will spoil how to get to the secret levels in the comments of this itch.io page. (It will take some time tho, for the ending ending you need to do several long levels at least twice)
You will get a better experience by playing through the game normaly tho (methinks).
Btw, you should try fast mode if, and only if, you know most of the levels. It's a experience of all time. (Hard recommend for the tedious secret levels)
The music gets repetitiv real quick, so you might want to tone it down.
(It is inteded that you take notes in later levels, so keep your Pen and Paper ready :3, trust me, the secret levels are frustrating if you just try to force it; Like the difficulty increase is exponential)

Fun game! I liked the transition between levels, very pinball. If I had more time I'd try to get farther, but I would love to come back and try some more levels. Good job!
How to get to Level 7
Observe that the Tree in level 6 and level 8 are the same. Now use the exit of the level 8 tree in the level 6 tree. (You can reach level 6 again either using the menu screen or that level 8 loops you back to level 1.)
How to get to S1
If a splitter has no where left to split, something magical might happen. This can occur in the beginning of level 10.
How to get to the S2 - Series
The similarity between Level 9 and S1 are not coincidental. Try walking the walk in Level 9 after getting to the exit. Another thing, because you will be going through level 9 a lot. You don’t need to solve the puzzel for a second time after unlocking the secret edge. You can just backspace into it.
How to beat the S2 - Series
If you get to S2g, the layout of the directional edges show in which sequenz you should traverse S2a - S2f. Die Spawnlocations and Colors (logo of the game) should be of use. Then a secret edge will appear in S2g.
How to get to the S4 - Series
Assuming you did the S3 series (good job, I accidentally made them very annoying), in S3c there is a disconnected path. The missing link appears when the counter strikes 0.How to get to level 11
At the bottom of level 10, you can force the merge to run out of options. So it will make some, thus temporarely clearing the used nodes. That should make the second exit accesible. Wished I could have used the machanic in later levels, but alas…
How to get to C1
In level 11 there was a color coded combination. If you use it in the S2 - Series, it will uncover a hidden path. You still need the other hidden path in S2g tho. Now you use that fact that the level progression loops. Going through S3, S4, back to level 9 and down to S2 again to insert the sequence and the oder path should have remain from the last round. (Tedious af, but not enough time to plan it better :( sorry). Nvm, just reset the S2 - Series on S2g and do it again with the other combination. (i just found out the other thing didn’t work, lesson learned, playtesting is important)
How to get to C2
Go into the C1 level which represents all the levels (that's why you travel to them through the exit. Either make sense of which node is which level or take the one bottomest left. And thats a game completion, congrats!!!Spoiler Test
