This is a very elegant puzzle game. Well done!

Submitted

Incredibly polished for a 48 hour jam! Creating a puzzle game seems really difficult, and this one was really well made.

Hmmm… the idea looks interesting, but is level 2 really possible to complete? No matter what I try, I’m always 1 tile next to the “player”, which means it ends up chasing me in circles around the right half of the level. The “player” can push me, so I can’t figure out how to block them either.

Thanks for playing! It’s definitely possible, but difficult if you can’t figure out the trick. You can see the walkthrough video I made.

Gosh, what a brain scratcher! Thanks for the video.

I got stuck on second level, too difficult and simple in same time

Developer

Thanks for playing! If I had more time for playtesting, I would have made the earlier levels easier.

I got stuck on 2 for more than I care to admit... Fun concept!

Great game! Puzzles were quite elegant. I got some boxes glitched and needed to refresh the page. But aside from that technical difficulty it was really fun.

Developer

Thanks!

I love the puzzling mechanic, and how it requires understanding how the player's "brain" works to solve. I got stuck around level 7, and think I may have found a bug.

the puzzle is tough, but I think with a few more easier puzzles early on to make the behavior of the "player" easier to predict I think it could be a lot more approachable. maybe with some way to indicate what the players next move will be.

Left is previous state, right is error state after moving box down one:

Thanks for your feedback and also for spotting the bug!

The game is very well polished, I couldn't win in the second level because the player didn't want to go to the end :D

Developer

Thanks for your feedback. I’ve added some level hints in the description, so feel free to try again!

A very creative idea. I found it a bit hard tho, and pretty much impossible to pass the second level, but I had lots of fun trying

I like the idea, though I simply don't know how to influence the character

Cool puzzle concept! Might want to make first few levels easier

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

very interesting puzzles, but it could use a bit extra explanation. The second level took me quite a while to beat

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

Seems like a good game, but I couldn't get past the second level because I couldn't understand how to influence the player correctly. Do check out my game though!
