I loved the puzzle gameplay here. It's really cool!

The graphics in this game a NES cannot handle so the NES feeling is a little gone, but other aspects make up for it!

VICTORY! I had to use pen and paper for the last level.

I enjoyed the game, really like the music as well.

I am not sure how much intentional the extra challenge from the plant and big pillar perspective above the upper tile is, I'm not a big fan of that part.

Thanks for sharing!

I think I managed to reach the final boss, but I started having flashbacks to the last Hoenn gym xd

In the end, I found it all very fun and a really cool idea.

Really nice graphics (but too nice for NES) and nice audio too! Nice, simple concept that was easy to understand. I wish the retry started from the same level rather than kicking me all the way back to the beginning. (but that is true to NES :D

Neat puzzle game concept with pleasant and thematically consistent graphics. One criticism: I think having limited lives is a bad fit for it cause on the more complex levels you're bound to have a bit of trial and error and going back to the beginning is no fun. Because of the tile based movements it's also easy to misstep, so allowing to undo a single step would also be great for this, imo. (Not sure if any NES games have something like this, but Boxxle and Catrap on Game Boy do.)

I really liked the graphics and the ambiance.

Incredible puzzle game! The core gameplay idea is simple, intuitive, and very well thought out, making each puzzle satisfying to solve. The graphics are outstanding, and the music is absolutely wonderful, creating a cozy atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic entry and an easy 5/5 from me! :)
