Really relaxing with some chill music. Cool!
Thanks for playing Unai!
Really cool idea! game is relaxing and i love the art style and colors chosen ;D
Interesting concept. Adding to the >slidy ice, oly turn when you hit a wall< mechanic by giving limited turns felt like a really natural fit.
Spoilers ahead:
I am not so sure about the powerup though. From a level design perspective it takes away a lot of ways to restrict the player. It adds a dexterity component to the game and therefore changes it away from a puzzle game.
But overall I had fun and like the puzzle part of the game a lot!

thanks tyr, agree with the powerup thing, I should have handled it more restrained. I already reviewed your game :), I am arkar on discord.
You should make it so you can't move towards a wall you're already touching. This prevents players from accidentally wasting a move when they don't move at all.
Difficulty is also very high. This is mainly because there's a lot on the screen, and many blocks are misleading. But that's the point, I'm assuming, that you'd need to figure out what isn't useful and what is useful. Took me an hour to finish the game at 90%ish completion. It's also a bit difficult preparing for moves that are very far away. There was one case where I thought one solution was viable, but I was 1 block off. Took me a good 15 minutes to realize it wasn't going to work.
When acquiring the red block, it trivializes the rest of the game. It's also tedious to time your stops precisely, and the camera and the block also jitters a bit if you stop outside of a snapped grid. I think you should have it so that red blocks are collected like the regular blocks and your stops become limited by how many reds you collect. Doing this means difficulty spikes to (limited moves * limited stops).
Overall, very fun and also very hard. Could be too hard though, if I were to give it a difficulty rating 0-10, 0 being easy as breathing, 10 being no one should even try to touch it, it would be a 6.
Again, really appreciate you took the time, I agree with everything you're saying. Some of it I already knew, but didn't have time left to fix, like the camera and block jitter, that was a bit lower on my priority list, so I ended up having no time left. But yeah I will keep these kinds of things definitely in mind for my next jam or game. Thanks again timmy!
I love it!
Was cool to play a game that the situation was under control and let me play with strategy.
A little bit hard, but engaging.
Thanks for playing!
very cool and thematic
Thanks! I tried my best with the theme.
Cool puzzle game, I love the looks of the game.
Thank you for playing, I didn't have enough time to really polish looks, I wanted a lot more, but cool that at least some got through!
Good game! Couldnt get past 3 controls tho hahaha
Oh no, have I made it that challenging. Thanks for playing though, appreciate it!
ok This is an amazing game, love the concept and the art through pixels. it took me a moment to figure out how the mechanics figure out and i couldn't get past 3 controls (i'll try again tomorrow) but tbh I would actually buy this game!
Thanks man, appreciate it
