I really enjoyed this game! I appreciate the fact that you have to be wary of not running into walls, adding to the difficulty of these games. Those "bonus" levels were so satisfying.

Great game, after the first level i thought it would be boring but the new mechanics kept it interesting. The implementation of mechanics was also great, like how you taught the player about them in the level before. As some other people pointed out, it would be nice if the player didn't lose points when running into a wall, but this is really knit picking. Overall amazing game, great job!

I like your game! It really sticks to the theme, has a simple but fun mechanics! I think losing points for stucking in the wall is a good part of the game, but maybe you can reduce the collision box so your game can be more forgiving. Overall, awesome work!

Very fun gameplay! Maybe in a future update you can make sure the player dont lose points if im moving into a wall. I got stuck often.

Love the art style and the mood. The die and retry dynamic also works really well!

This game gives me the creeps! I love the one bit style and the calm but eerie music. The gameplay is great too! It always felt great clearing a level.

Loved how you made it so that on some levels you have to save some control point pickups for later. Good way to make things more interesting :)

Developer

Yeah! Had to squeeze in strategy wherever I coyld.

Nice presentation! First game I play made in haxe ahah. Good work keep creating games!

Very nice concept! The art also looks good. The player has to make sure not to run into walls to save control points and this makes the game more challenging.

Fun idea and looks great! A little frustrating that you lose time when you walk into a wall, but i guess that's just up to the player to do better. I imagine this would work nicely with a random maze generator

Nice game! It was a little frustrating that you still lost steps when walking into a wall and not moving, but I guess that's where most of the challenge came from. Optimizing a route through a level felt great. Loved the aesthetics too.

Nice work! It's very simple, clean and polished. I like that a lot. We actually had similar base concepts where you run out of control over time unless you collect stuff haha. As far as feedback goes I think it'd be nice if you didn't lose "health" if you are stuck on a wall but trying to move. That said it could just be something that adds to the strategy of your inputs so both work.

This game is great. The presentation is awesome and I love how you managed to make a game with the theme "out of control" be  really relaxing and slow paced.

Really, well put together. The level of strategy required of the player is fantastic. Realising which pellets to avoid, memorising dead-ends with several paths to success! A fantastic entry!

Great idea and fine execution, too! Loved the music and art style!

Developer

Thanks! I’m pretty proud of that tune.

Really nice theme interpretation. I love the art style that you went with. great work!

Great concept and execution, really liked it!

Cool idea! Lost a lot of points getting stopped on corners of blocks.

Developer

Yeah, I really wish I could have fixed that in time.

Made the game more challenging so not necessarily a bad thing!

Really like this game. It's like the video game equivalent of some sort of meditative puzzle activity, like a crossword puzzle. Love the 1-bit art and chill music too.
