  • Very fun puzzle game! Much more addictive than what I expected at first. It's a shame that there is no music.
  • cool to do a demake of a PS1 game! certainly making idiomatic use of the GBA's affine capabilities :)
  • I hadn't heard of Turnabout before, but now that I have, this adaptation to GBA works so well, it feels like an on-the-go version of the game is something that needed to exist! Appreciate the originality of the levels themselves, there's plenty of them and they had me scratching my head! It feels feature-complete too, it's only missing chill music and sweet visuals.
  • Cool concept, and everything runs smoothly - some very clever puzzle designs on display here. It does get tough quite quickly though! Honestly I'd often find myself turning the board at random until it was solved rather than being strategic, so a gentler progression may be helpful. Would also appreciate a reverse rotation animation on undo, as I completely lose track of the state of the board after an undo.
  • A really entertaining puzzle game! Wonderful variety of puzzles, some of them are quite tricky! Great work!
  • Fun and challenging puzzle game! Some music would make it even better.

Very cool puzzle game. It’s a lot of fun. I never heard of turnabout before. I guess designing levels for this game is hard work and you have 50 levels, which are very well made and real brain twisters. In my opinion the blip sound a little agressive. Great entry anyway.

Thanks! I think sound is the weakest point in my entry; it’s not an area I have any experience. But I made it a priority to have a full set of levels so that, even if incomplete, the game might be worth carrying and working through.
