Let people know how long you've been working on the game
I made this game throughout January during the weekends and the evenings. I have been making a lot of skill-based games lately, so I wanted to try to make a puzzle game for once!
It definitely needs more polish and content, but it was a lot of fun to create so far. Hopefully it is fun to play as well!
I am looking foward to your feedback :D

Nice idea! not much dialog or sound but simple to play.

Interesting puzzle game! the challenges are well thought out, enough that it took quite a few tries sometimes to find a solution but never got to the stage of being frustrating. Also the art style and music is pleasant and soothing. Nice work!

Cool game, good concept, graphic and sound.

Have to agree with everyone on this, a tutorial is needed :D

Developer

Thank you for playing! :D

This is a great puzzler. It took a little while to figure out how it worked so maybe work on the tutorial section a little more. And then make more levels, it’s too short and I loved it :)

Developer

I am happy you liked it! :D I will definitely think on the tutorial, it needs some work. Thanks for the feedback ^_^

As others have said, I was confused at first. I didn't understand how to complete level 2 until I tried a few different things and then won, which made me realise the lights meant statue moves and so forth. Once I understood the mechanic, however, it was no problem. The difficulty progression was perfect, with well thought out puzzles. I love the art and the audio design. This is well polished already and  a very good tiny puzzle game.

Thank you very much for telling me your early experience with the game! I totally agree that it needs some work. But it is good to hear that you figured it out eventually and that the rest of the game is fun :D

Thanks a lot for your great feedback and kind words ^_^

Hi Wuppos, I really liked your game, actually I played all the 9 stages. The concept is very cool, simple to understand but could possibly be expanded with different statues and tiles, idk, something to recharge their moves, destroy some statues, make them walk two tiles per time... I'm not saying I expected that from the game, but if you plan on working on it, it could be a commercial title. Great job!

Developer

Hey ak1r4, thank you very much for playing! It always is a great feeling when someone seems to enjoy the game enough to play all the available levels :D 

I am definitely planning on extending the number of mechanics. I was considering recharging statue moves, or maybe have statues that have larger shapes. Making then walk two tiles at a time is also interesting! Maybe when there is a certain slippery ground or something? Thanks for the ideas ^_^

cool puzzle game and nice visuals!

it took a while until i understood 2 things: the remaining moves at the bottom of the statues and that i only need to bring 1 of them to the goal. but then it clicked at some point and i really enjoyed puzzling :)

Developer(+1)

I see, the remaining moves issue I heard before, but the other issue you mentioned is new. Thanks a lot! I can see what you mean :)

Thanks for playing and for your feedback! :D

nice art style and cute puzzle game:3. It took me a long time to understand that the number of moves lies at the feet of the statues :V.
Don't forget to check out the prototype of my upcoming roguelike dungeon crawler. Although it's just a prototype, it already has a lot of content. I really need feedbacks to improve my game.

Developer

I am happy you enjoyed it! And thanks for the feedback! It seems that is a common issue >_<

I will look at your game after I have done the games of the people who posted before you :)

I am happy you liked it :D

I really like this puzzle mechanic, and the sound effect when a level is completed is so satisfying! The only thing is that I was a little confused for the first couple of levels because it wasn't immediately clear to me why I ran out of moves, or how many moves I had left. Once I figured that out, the rest of the levels had a perfect difficulty curve!

Developer(+1)

I am happy you like it :D That sound effect at the end of a level I put in last minute, so I am happy you found it fitting ^_^

Your feedback is also completely valid. I will try to find a solution for that :D

Thanks for playing!

The game was really fun albeit there could have been a better tutorial to indicate how many moves each piece can move. I only realized that the base of each piece indicates how many move each piece has left 4 levels into the game. 

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback! I fully see what you mean. It is a bit of a tricky problem to to solve, because I don't want to ruin the atmosphere by putting more UI everywhere. But I will try to come up with a solution :)

Love the art and the sound design gives a really chill vibe to this game!  Great puzzles and really fun -awesome work on this! :D

Sometimes simple is better. Once you figure out the core puzzle mechanic, its a satisfying time sink with homely pixel art and music/ambiance

Developer

Thank you for playing! I am happy you enjoyed it :D

Great, relaxing, nice music, nice graphics. GIVE ME MORE LEVELS :)

Sometimes I cannot see the number of moves left on the status, when they overlap. Maybe you find a solution for it.

Developer

Haha, I am happy you enjoyed it enough to want more levels! I still have plans for a few more mechanics with which I can make levels, so those will come when I have the time :D

And thanks for your feedback, not seeing the number of moves left is indeed a probleem. I try to come up with a solution.

Thanks a lot for playing and your kind feedback ^_^

Very relaxing!
