You dreamed about a ethereal fractal but as you wake up, your memories get jumbled. Retrieve what you lost!

Facetious puzzle is a game created for the TweetTweetJam 2 with 560 characters. It is also my first game on PICO-8. The name of the game is inspired by the literal translation of the french name of 15-puzzles, "jeu du taquin".
