I'm a sucker for good puzzle games, and this is one of them. nice introduction of mechanics, this had me hooked. also one of the better submissions using the 'count' joke

Great graphics and sound, and the jam theme is well-executed too! The concept isn't exactly unique, of course, but the execution is amazing!

Is this a jam game or did I just buy this on Steam? Seriously, the level of polish and the amount of content in the game is incredible.

Now that's a count that can counts. He really shows his fangs! I love the artstyle and there really are some headscratchers with good "ah ah!" moments in there. Loved it!

It's quite fun to see lots of games that are "use only N amount of steps to complete the puzzle"! I think this has been my favourite so far that that type. Very well polished, with fun transitions, silly animations, beautiful palette.
It is so satisfying that when you move the moon moves around, just the artwork and how it is responsive to the game play is really well thought out.

Really fun! Great artwork and level design, the animations are really satisfying too. I got stuck on B-3, always one tile away, so I didn’t get to try all of the powers, but I enjoyed what I did get to play c:

That's a shame, Eat the first two villagers and then ignore the next two. It should help! Thank you for your comment!

ze_shellySubmitted39 days ago (1 edit) (+2)

such a great game!! really enjoyed it!
the art is wonderful and i looooove the moving background
the count's scream of pain is wonderful lol

the only thing id want to """fix""" is that you need to press to restart the level after you died, i just want to continue automatically lol

but overall, really polished and clever!!

Submitted

Alejandro PHzDeveloper39 days ago

Thank you for playing and for your nice comment! The reason the game doesn't reset when you die is that you can rewind or "undo" moves by pressing Q, so if you die you can choose to restart or to just move back a couple of steps :)
