This is a really creative game! I do think it would've been better if the game showed you exactly how the character moved, because I didn't even realize exactly how it worked until I started writing this review (maybe some kind of particle or animation once the movement timers hit 0). Either way, for a game made in only half the time, this has a lot of potential!

Really cool concept, I don't think I've seen anything quite like this in the entire jam, the array shifting idea is cool but hard to wrap your head around without some extra visuals or some way of tracking the numbers and how they shifted. It took me wayyyy too long to figure out that they're wrapping around themselves, and I might be getting hands-diffed but I struggled with getting the square to move how I wanted, the dash always going to the right even with left triggering at the same time felt weird, I think there's potential here for a better game but with 48 hours I feel you, its a pretty good one regardless (so I ain't holding that against the rating)

Very cool and creative idea! 

How did you design the levels/timers? Was it just trial and error? I wonder if that could be a potential game mode. Where you get a list predetermined timers each level and you must arrange them on the grid before playing, tweaking the layout as you play through trial and error.

Had a lot of fun beating it, great job!

Sometimes I had an idea like with the second level where there is one way you can move it to move left but then you have to move the grid back so you can go right. Others I just used trial and error.
