- In dire need of a tutorial / how to play. The play button was hidden behind the main menu's chatacter's head in 4K, so I could click it, I had to swap monitor. Once I was in game clicking anywhere wouldnt do anything, then pressing the numbers would change colors on the tool down there. Then I still couldn't do anything. Feels like there's a cool Lemminglike game under there, but I was unable to play after trying a lot.
Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)

Overall good concept and take on the theme, it runs smoothly, and I love games about goblins, but the controls were hard or didn't work, and it was kinda hard to learn at first, and the level design had too much fluff and not enough substance
The core mechanic is nice, and the theme is well respected :)
I had some problem figuring what key to press, I think it would have helped if there was a quick tutorial explaining that.
yeah i agree with alice liu. the concept is great. and its a nice mechanic that you can remove tiles with the tools to make a way for the goblins. but it needs some instruction text but the buttons to press. oh and the only button that had a text was the press N to go to next level which did not work for me.
Concept wise, I love puzzle games and mapping routes is always fun, so I enjoyed the idea!
I do wish the UI was clearer and cleaner because I completely leftfield guessed that you have to press the number to select the tool (spent a good while clicking around the map) and a number of other controls—and like the previous comment, the start button didn’t scale right so it’s completely hidden from view unless someone (lol me) cares to random click around the map for it.
Is this working? I just get, what I presume, is the title screen and some music… and nothing happens. Nothing clicks or key presses
The start (presumably) button is a really tiny green button that’s offcolor from the goblin it’s hiding behind—here’s a hint: you can’t really see it unless you fullscreen, although you can still click it even if you can’t see it.
I do wish there were instructions somewhere even if only in the game description because holy the controls took me a solid minute of spamming my keyboard…
