Great concept and good pacing, slowly introducing players to new mechanics. I would have loved a way to undo and edit flag placements. That combined with your flag placements saving when you die would make this a really awesome game. Can't wait to see progress.

Thanks!

I loved the marker concept for moving the monster around.  I also like that the monster wasn't restricted to a grid so I could do some fancier movement and get around the puzzles that way, which felt a lot more fun.  The game overall could use a bit of polish but the gameplay is there, and that's what matters the most.

Very cool concept! I am pretty bad with the timings though :/

Cool game! Like the planning and then execution stage. Like some others have said a little glitchy and the third level would not continue for me, but pretty fun!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

Am I missing something, I couldn't seem to get out of the tutorial stage. There is a yellow thing on the left I send the monster to it and nothing happens.

We didn't spend much time play testing and explaining the game as we should have, sorry!

You have to stand on the arrow to leave each level.

I love the concept and it is fun to play but I found that the game can be a little glitchy at times with the character spinning around in a circle or the key was acting really weird.  It is fun though and I love the overall visuals of it

Developer

haha yea, we just chalked that up to the theme being "Out Of Control" (and not having enough time of course).

An interesting game. I really liked the background and lighting. I wonder what it'd be like if everyone's moves were in sync (effectively turn based). I think that'd make the strategy/forward thinking aspect a bit more prominent than trying to time the start move. A cool game anyway

Developer

Thanks for the review! I totally agree that an entirely turned based game would certainly make the game more strategic and less frustrating. However, my friends and I did have many "butt-clenching" moments of timing that were kinda funny.
