Gorgeous clean isometric look, and watching the packets crawl along the links is weirdly satisfying - clever little puzzle idea.

I tried playing the game, and level 2 seems impossible! I could not beat most of the levels here...

Developer

The intended solution for level 2 is to disguise yourself as one color and use it to trick the two enemies into fighting each other. Unfortunately there appears to be a bug with the retry button that doesn't properly reset the AI's aggro table which we only discovered after the jam ended :/. As a workaround you can go back to level select and back into the level from there.

It might be my skill issue, but I completely headbutted from level 1 trought 4 and din't really understand most of the strategy and mechanics lol. But the presentation and organization of the levels is really good! In my case tho, I might have benefitted from a tutorial lol.

Developer

Haha yeah the original intend was for the levels to be self-tutorializing by slowly introducing mechanics but it didn't really work out that way and we ran out of time to integrate a proper tutorial ^^' Glad you enjoyed the presentation though!
