I admit when I started playing this I said, "OK, so you walk around and bump into walls, and those are the walls. Kind of...basic?"

And then: the other tiles! Suddenly it became much less trivial, and genuinely interesting. By the last level, I'd have almost everything mapped out and be walking back and forth trying to figure out which thing I'd marked as floor space was actually a tunnel.

In terms of gameplay, a few things that struck me (which I mention only because you asked for criticism, and I'll emphasize that the game was still fun, none of these are dealbreakers!):

Obviously the graphics are a little simple. Perfect for a prototype or an experiment; might want sprucing up for a full project.
I'd love if the "level complete" box didn't cover up the level, or gave you a chance to clear it before moving on; often I wanted to look things over. (You can probably draw inspiration from a lot of other games that have a "level complete/next level" pattern.)
There were a few cases where things were technically ambiguous. For instance, if a corner space has walls on both of its sides and you can walk onto it from both walls, it could be a wall, or it could technically be a ladder. Similarly, if you can't walk onto it, it could be floor or it could be ice, on levels where both are available. (I didn't investigate whether the game accepts a particular solution or any valid solution.) It's mostly harmless, but I think puzzle games work best when there's no ambiguity.

Good luck with future projects!

Thank you so much for playing the game. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it, one big criticism with my last project was they couldn't understand the gameplay so Im super happy that it sounds like my tutorial messages were clear enough to understand the game.
Thank you for taking the type to write out criticism as well, I really want to make things that people are able to enjoy and I always want to have more things to work on or think about the next time I make something.

The art definitely leaves a lot to be desired, definitely just one place as a whole that I need to put some time into improving or at the very least coming up with something other than just flat colors

Yeah after thinking about it I totally feel you about the level complete box, it is definitely satisfying in a puzzle game to be able to look back at your completed work and just admire it, so either making that transparent or maybe appear in the mostly empty right third of the screen was the way to go.

That is definitely true that some scenarios are like that, and honestly even thinking about it now still not sure how I would tackle that problem except to state that ladders must connect to some ground and some wall, which probably would have been a good move.
Thanks again for the criticism and for playing my game in the first place and for the luck with future works.

I hope you have a lovely rest of your day. <3
