This is a pretty nice game! I enjoyed figuring out the paths, and if this were to be expanded, having larger levels to consider and traverse through would be a nice addition to play through. Keep making awesome stuff!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I had intended to make 24 total levels with the last ones being more complicated, but ran out of time.

Really solid entry! I wished there were a bit more levels at the end as most of them felt more like a tutorial (which is still a great addition on its own to slowly lead players into how the game works) than actually brainbusting puzzles. That is except for the last one that I couldn't fully master xD. Is it possible to beat in under seven days?

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I intended for more "real" levels and ran out of time. You're right that the first 16 are all tutorials lol. There is one path that I know of to beat the last level in 7 days, really wish I had gotten to create more puzzles like that.

Loved this game! I played all 17 levels. At first I was confused, but then things clicked and I just kept playing. Perfect length game for what you made here. Good job! I hope you keep making games.

Developer

Thanks, that means a lot!
