(ideas)



(
x swap sides
x use peg to block and desync other pegs
x use peg to widen push
x need to use peg to push but prevent sticking
x need to take already-correct pieces away to glom onto other needed pieces
take elephant out of the bottle
  two elephants, both left halves in left bottle, both right halves in right bottle?
move sticks outside the bottle
annoying separate puzzle that restricts your movement in the main puzzle
  kinda like jelly is sticky
x like croc level 18
  lots of sticks to mega shovel very lateral
  combine with that one level
x vanilla-looking sokoban, but with two 1-wide pushers. anything interesting here?
x tap-through mommentum is easy to tutorialize
ice tap level?

add sfx when two parts stick together
2 elephants - required to stick two together that looks like you lose
mechanic: pushable crates
)
