What do you like about your game?
I used this game jam as a way to get back into making video games, as that's my goal for a career. This was a chance to put in the effort and aberrate from doing what's easy and letting my dreams go by. It's very simple, but it's one big metaphor for where I'm at with pursuing my goals.

What a fantastic little game, loved the concept of dragging ideas over others to defeat them, that in itself is like super interesting, it left me thinking and wanting more because of how promising this concept is. If you ever get the chance, please make more! 

Notes: 

-If it had some music and some sound effects it would elevate this game even further! I only say this because I loved the game so much! 

Great work!

I was drawn to your game by the hand drawn thumbnail. Great job!

It's a fun puzzle with a great ending! Glad it checked it out.

My entry has a similar self-discovery vibe. I'd love to get your feedback if you are able. Cheers!

Sorry you had a rough time (I had no time to get usability feedback)! I added instructions in the game's description for if you get stuck. Hope you give it another shot!
