This is a pretty cool game, I would recommend making the direction the character is going to walk clearer. ;D

Awesome game, dude! I'm saving in my collection to play more after the rating period. It fits the theme really well and the game is very polished, congrats!

Nice use of the theme I got up to level eleven

the playing with angles to completely change directions is very creative! fun puzzle! very nice animations when slaying monsters too!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool concept and great execution!

I really liked the smooth animations and smart puzzles!

The only thing that confused me  at first were the rotations, cause the animation made it look like he was shaking his head, which I took as it didn't work. But I figured it out eventually!

Really impressive work, good job! :D

Liked the concept and the art style is pretty solid. It also have a really good level design. Great work :D

I like this programming motion concept.  It makes for awsome puzzles and it makes you think ahead.  I also like your artwork. Great work!

This is the kind of puzzle game I really enjoy and you did a great job with it.  The puzzles had just the right level of challenge to them.  The level progression felt good, I never felt there to be too big of a jump in difficult between levels.  The art style fit well and I particularly liked the attack animation.  It might have been nice if I could have removed just the last command instead of having to clear the whole loop, but none of the loops were so long as to make me feel annoyed at having to start completely over.  All in all, this was a really solid and enjoyable game.

real mind puzzler! great game

Submitted(+1)

This was  a really nice idea and was pulled off quite well! One minor thing that I think would make a huge difference is for the character to visually face a different direction after rotating

By the way, thanks for playing my game earlier! 

Developer

Of course! I quite like your game. The visual rotation is something we wanted to do at first but we were worried we wouldn’t have time to make it look nice. Thanks for playing!

Developer

Don’t worry, you can blame our art guy

Amazing game and concept, Really creates some tough challenges and puzzles. Great Submission Keep it up🙌

Seriously strong game here, this is a great example of thinking ahead and spatial reasoning! Loved the atmosphere and music too.

Submitted(+1)

Nice to see another take on this idea ! The rotations are a difficult to use at first but offers a lot of movement possibilities. 

For a few puzzles I found a different solution that the ones you put in the description, and I think that's very cool to have multiple ways of solving a puzzle.

Great job guys!

Developer

Great minds think alike! And yes that’s something we intended for and knew about. Glad you had fun!

Nice puzzles!

The atmosphere and cohesiveness of the game elements were really nice. I got quite engaged, and its a very cool version of those "learning programming fundamentals" games.
