Super cute artstyle! Very colourful. I also enjoyed the fusion between tile puzzler elements and a more emergent, combat aspect. It could get pretty difficult at times trying to maneuveur through all those slimes!

I think it could do with a little more depth, especially as the levels go on. I didn’t feel there was any change in difficulty or complexity from one to the next, and although it looks like a puzzle game, there’s rarely a lot of actual puzzling besides charting an efficient path (which the random enemies often screw up for you). I feel like I eventually died not because the levels got harder, but because I just got a bunch of bad enemy spawns which ate up all my reserves. Some more mechanics/enemy types, a difficulty curve throughout a run, and a stronger puzzle aspect could help make the game a bit more satisfying and skill-based.

Nice work overall! It’s a very clean and polished concept & final product.

I appreciate the criticism. I wish I had the time to do set enemy spawns and made it more predictable so you were rewarded for efficient pathing; but sadly I did not have the time for that.

Everything came down to the wire!

Loved it! Gave me major nostalgia vibes, very fun and it makes me wanna get farther than last time. :D

What a lovely main menu. The way the clouds scatter to reveal it is such a neat little detail. The overall aesthetic and colour palette fits perfectly.

The gameplay is simple and easy to get into, and I really like the duality of the countdown both being triggers by movement but also by time. Made it surprisingly tense for a turn-based game. Would love to see the primary count-mechanic being used for more puzzles and secondary mechanics if you continue development.

Very good looking game! It does feel like theres usually not much reason to fight the enemies. Im also not sure its always possible to beat a level in time.

Wonderful pixel art, I liked the "next move prediction" feature and the intuitiveness of the game (understood what to do in 3 sec)

The art is chef's kiss, the animations compliment it even further, along with the idea and simple concept, one of my most enjoyed games so far!

Really liked the game, it is very polished, simple but very fun to play. I like the explanation elements that make the interface easy to understand, the visuals are nice and the coins animations at the end are very satisfying!

Really nice game! The art style is amazing and also the simplicity. At the beggining, I found the game a bit difficult, but then I started to understand it.

I liked the simplicity of the controls and time pressure to clear as efficiently as possible.

The art and the grid layout is very appealing. I'd be interested to see you expand on the premise.

Awesome game! The transitions were super polished and the art style was really cool!

The count was often disappointed with me and once, the count was indifferent.
But me, I definitely think the count should consider playing this game because it's awesome.

It's quite hard, I really needed to memorize the route in advance otherwise I run out of steps. Well executed though, I like it.
