The level design was very engaging. Whenever I got a gameover it felt like it was my fault. Very rewarding puzzles, and interesting use of mechanics. I would've liked to hear more music, and where I'm not sure if the music is totally game boy, I did enjoy it. I like when games use your health as a resource in puzzle solving. Very fun game!

This is a really cool game. I didn’t like that sometimes you would get trapped in some spots where you can’t win. Other than that it is an amazing game.

this game doesn't fool around! got stuck on level 1 for a long time.  I had some trouble with the controls.  the delay between moves caused some misclicks and since there's little room for error this made things harder than they ought to have been.

I probably could have sped up the delay between turns a bit shorter, but didn't have time to adjust it too much and figured it'd be okay since it's a turn based puzzler, but I do agree it could feel a bit smoother!
Thanks for playing!

That was fun, and the latter levels are proper brain-scratchers!

I do wish there were some way to heal, or checkpoints of some sort, because dying just before the end of the level can be disheartening.

Also a bit more movement speed / lower delay between each step could help make the game a bit more dynamic.

Other than that, it was great. GG :)

Thank you for playing!

I did want to add some of those points you mentioned but I just didn't have time, but I definitely put placeholders in my code to do things like heal, or even a battery to recharge your skills, etc.

Ooh good to note, I think it would be good, but I noticed that my friends were trying to rush in heads first and kept dying before thinking about how to stay alive ahaha.

Thanks again!!
