In this screencast you can see the player navigating the game using an “Inspector” cursor to find out the level and then playing it while being able to notice which sprites change (and of course, there is undo in case something unexpected happens)

For the non-visual version of what is happening in this screencast (which blind people will read), see https://asciinema.org/a/193133
