How does the game fit the theme?
The place in this game looks weird. There is no color, except when people speak. The citizens give confusing directions. Players must think carefully and use the compass to find the right way. This makes the place feel strange and matches the theme.

A great puzzle game that makes you think, would happily play a few more levels. My only criticism is that on my first attempt the east and west colours were two similar shades of green which could be made clearer.
Cool game, took me a second to work out but good job!
I wish there was 1 or 2 more levels but overall I had fun playing it. The idea is really creative and the visuals look neat, well done!
This is a pretty neat idea for a game! I think you guys fully explored the concept. At first, I was a bit confused even after reading the how to play but once I got the hang of it I got a 97.5 which I'm pretty proud of. Good job!
Nice concept, but I had a really hard time finding most of the answers. At first, I thought the compass would change direction (like north on the right, south up, etc.).But even when I realized the hint was the colors, I was still wrong about half the time because north and south looked almost the same shade of green. But the idea was great, and it could be a really nice puzzle game with a bit more polish.
I completed it in 267 seconds.
Edit: After posting this comment, I replayed it and noticed that all the colors had change. I managed to finish it easily with a time of 103 seconds. So I guess I was just unlucky the first time with the colors. Be careful with RNG like that. :-)
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback 🙏
Overall gameplay is great, when we drag player it can highlight the area in green to understand which is correct and red for incorrect place.
Thank you for the feedback
