Nice execution, and the failed attempts really is a lifesaver. I think it would benefit of having some kind of mechanic to make it possible to get better at the game. Maybe the failed attempts could play a bigger role in the gameplay?

Submitted

Ahaha I can't believe I succeeded level 5 in one go :D I'm super fond of your "ghost" system. Really well made!

Submitted

paranoia the game, very cool

Submitted

Clever ! Great fit with the theme too

Submitted

Nicely done, wasn't frustrating at all. Would have been cool to have all traps revealed at the end of the level, I had a completely empty level where I managed to cross first try, and I was wondering how lucky I'd been.

Developer

That's a great idea to reveal all the traps at the end!

Submitted

Really on theme and it was fun! Seeing the previous paths made death not frustrating. Cool concept and nicely done. Having just watch Mickey 17 this made me wonder if some dark humor and an expendable character would make the fiction more funny than frustrating.

The path visualization is a cool effect. The gameplay can be frustrating, but it feels intentional and the replay mechanic is implemented well

Soviet mine-sweeping platoon simulator.  Great job om making a game concept that could be really frustrating instead interesting and fun to play out.

Developer hates their players, well done

Best and most creative realization of the theme in my opinion.

very very well done butt this game is rage indusing

Submitted

Great concept and game overall with some unexpected mechanics.

Submitted

I tried a couple of times, just like the game title suggests :) The game is smooth and addictive. Nice work!

Submitted

I like the concept. However, I found the many attempts in the larger levels a bit frustrating. You can only complete the levels through trial and error.

One idea might be patterns that, once recognized, make the rest of the level easier.

Submitted

This is an interesting concept. I like that you can see your failed attempts when you die. I do think that in the larger levels dying gets old. Maybe an alternative idea could be if you stay still for a bit you get a small glimpse of hidden tiles around you? Or maybe when you die, you could reveal an additional trap that you haven’t discovered yet?
