music and gameplay were enjoyable. fantastic little puzzle game. 

Developer

Thank you for playing

Nice puzzle game. Like the character and music. The swap was a bit confusing but made it challenging.

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Submitted

Cool idea and a great feel with the swords + fantasy style music! 

Perhaps different models for the two characters would make the shifting player more obvious to an idiot like me that didn't read instructions!

Developer(+1)

Yeah...I kind of run out of time..but you're totally right :)

Submitted

The character and the music were fabulous.

Developer

Thank you very much my friend.

Submitted

Seeing as I made a  puzzle game myself I knew I had to try yours. 

The game was great loved the idea of your position being swapped with your enemies. It made things a lot more challenging and fun. The graphics look great too. Well done :)

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to playing it.

Cheers

Nice little game! Simple, but enjoyable! Nice job for your first experience!

Developer(+1)

Thank you Justin :D lol

Submitted

Well done - especially for a first game.  Nice movement mechanics and I liked the setting!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! 

Submitted

the Huhh death sound gets me every time. nice idea and you implemented something small well, game play works with no bugs for me, with solid animations and consistency so that good to build off of

Developer(+1)

Thank you my friend for your feedback and comment. Appreciated.

Submitted

Cool use of the theme, basically becoming the enemy if you die, so it is harder to just memorize the correct way (unless you use death as a means of continuing the puzzle as before). Either way, you still manage to add a cool mechanic that matches the theme

Developer

Thank you. I wanted also the player to act as a ghost, so It would have moved like you moved before dying so it would have been difficult to catch him again, but I run out of time :) Thank you for your time.

Submitted

There's really something here. I would just improve on: having the enemies maybe also move around/attack, and making more obvious/puzzly what tiles kills you. Music is so good. Nice job!

Developer

I see...thanks for the advices. I'll try to improve it in the future maybe in a new iteration of the concept. Thank you very much.

Submitted

fun little game :-D

Developer

Thank you

Submitted

Good game But you ca improve this by giving user full control instead of clicks only!

I see. I used this jam to start experimenting on creating a turn based tactical rpg so the limitation comes from that. But I think you're right. Thank you.

I wanted to try yours but I have a Mac and no Windows, sorry about that.

Submitted

Very nice, I like the concept. It's fun to play

Submitted

Cool idea! Really like the way you have to do like a Squid Game puzzle to find your way. The only thing that would be cool as an improvement, is if you could somehow know which tile to stand on, like in Squid game they could figure it out (sort of)

(+1)

Nice game :D Reminds me of Squid Game's tempered glass game :D

Developer

Thank you. You're right...maybe I was influenced in that ;D 

Submitted

Congrats on completing the game jam! Great job for a first time submission working solo.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for taking the time to play it! Appreciated! :D

Gonna try yours now :) 

Submitted (1 edit)

Nicely done ! I look forward to what you make in the future.

Developer

Thank you for your time :) Same here :)

Submitted

Pretty good game. It is a little annoying to memorize the trapped tiles, only to have the field rotate on you! But I am pretty brain-dead right now, so maybe that is why haha.
For a first game, this is really solid. Well done!!

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play and comment. I know...I made an annoying one :D Gonna try yours now :)

Jam Host

Hi, the link to your source returns a 404 for me. Is your GitHub project set to private? Please make it public.

Developer

Hi, I'm sorry. I forgot to make it public. It should be fine now. 

Thank you.
