I was very confused at first; the controls felt a little unresponsive on resetting so it was unclear what was and wasn't supposed to be interacted with, and the game felt really sluggish when you didn't know which moves to make, as some of the puzzles take a lot of moves that individually add up really fast. I like the artstyle and audio design a lot though, and the room names are always a really nice touch. Especially nice colorwork, it's simple but subdued in a way that I think really adds to the vibe, nice work.

I guess I learned a new word today! I really liked the puzzles. The atmosphere is quite relaxed, and the pacing goes with it, which makes it quite good. I like the ui a lot, and specially the small touch of the titles for each map doing A LOT for the flavor of each level.

If there is only one silly thing to make it cooler have been a sound for enabling the button to go to the next grid.

I’ve been wondering where this counts down, and it turns out to be counters—a very interesting innovation

Each puzzle is well designed and challenging. It took me a while to solve them all, but it was so much fun!

Nice puzzles and interpretation of the theme!

Very well designed puzzles! The rules of enemy moves are very clear, and various pieces add depths to the game.

Delay between inputs do add cozy feelings to the game, but I still want some ways to speed it up as this kinds of game needs lots of trial and error

I love the sound of counter going down the hole! It's so satisfying

Nice puzzles! The game is slow and relaxing, which is a welcome change of pace from all the timer-based games in this year's jam. The connection to the theme is legal though, as you often have to count down the moves =)

Really classy game for a shrot Jam. Puzzles all felt good and mechanics all felt very fair. It really captures that feeling in chess of Zugzwang, playing 3 moves in advance at all times. Well done!
