How does your game fit the theme?
Its a puzzle game where you count down the amount of moves you can make every turn, although I must admit the theme got a bit lost in experimentation.

Decent little entry! A great sign that people want more levels, I can see a bit more potential here to be squeezed out.

i love the aesthetic ! would love to see more levels if you plan on expanding this

Very fun puzzle game with a few dificult puzzles. I really liked poking the enemies but wish it was slightly longer because there's a lot of potential in the mechanics

Submitted

Really fun, the puzzles were well done and I really liked the spikes/levers. The artwork was nice!

Very nice puzzle game! It felt sokoban-esque, but the turn based movement moving enemies added a unique flavor

Amazing audio and especially amazing art! (the old gameboy aesthetic will never not look good) Also the concept is familiar but handled quite well and fluidly; I like how fast paced the game is while also letting you slow to a halt and think for a while if you're stuck. However sadly there's only like 3 or 4 levels; my biggest complaint is that it was way too short lol. But this is an amazing foundation to add more levels, mechanics and maybe somewhat of a narrative i guess? Great game!

This is fun! Would love to play more levels :)

Oh look! Finally, a good old mind-breaker! Wish to see this game on mobile devices

Cool game - just wish there were more levels.

There's a lot of cool potential with this one!

Short but sweet. I liked the puzzles, the spritework is fantastic, and everything was clear and understandable. Would have played another 10+ levels if they existed - would definitely be interested if you extended this further!

Cool game! Level 5 and 4 were creative and I like that you had to manipulate the enemies like that! The sound design and music were good and i like the 8-bit style. The game was a bit short tho :(

I love a good, tight, limited-moves puzzle game! The coins giving an extra move was a cool element to add in and plan around. I see how you incorporated the theme and appreciated that you followed the fun.

Really nice soundtrack, good puzzles and really nice artwork. So well made :)

awww what a cool idea, i loved it! only complaint is that it wasnt longer, could have easily kept me entertained for 3x the amount of levels.

Oh I could have played so many more levels. That was a fun game! Great style, lovely count down mechanic, great job!! Also good job making approachable puzzles, I thought the difficulty was perfect for a game jam.
