How does your game fit the theme?
Its a puzzle game, but there is an AI character that is solving the puzzle, and you as the player are supposed to stop the puzzle from being solved. In this way the roles are reversed in comparison to regular puzzle games.

Nice one! The AI on the character was well done.
Got me engaged until the very end! Felt super stupid because I wasn't appliying the "cant hold more than one key" rule. Good job!
The AI character is smart as me lol. Spent some time trying to design very hard levels for this poor guy. Really interesting game! Good job!
Fantastic game, the puzzles are surprisingly difficulty, you really hate it when the monster figure out a way to beat you, truly making you feel like you've switched roles
Very well done! Great AI work for such a short time
That's a really smart puzzle game, I enjoyed it until the end. I just felt that the puzzle's difficulty didn't really increase properly, the third level was way trickier than the fourth (but maybe that's just me) ! I'm also impressed by the AI, great work !
I tried sorting by difficulty, but there might be unintended solutions that i didn't find. Turns out designing puzzles is harder than programming the game, at least for me ;)
This is like I Wanna Lockpick but reversed, really liked the concept! Utilizing the 'one key at a time' rule at the last level was very clever. I wish the puzzles had less red herrings though, but the game was still amazing.
I wasn't familiar with that game, played it a bit and it is very similar :D I wanted to add more mechanics but I figured i would run out of time, so I've focused on the keys and doors.
This is really interesting and original. The puzzles are amazings. Great work here!
Cool concept, the puzzles are well designed.
Interesting...
I enjoyed it! The levels were not to easy and it's a simple and interesting gameidea! Some more soundeffeects would be nice though! Good game!
Very fun and nice game, I found the last puzzle to be very hard, and the ai was really well done
Cute game and allowed for a lot of fun puzzles!
This is an amazing idea for a game, and it was executed really well! The AI is really impressive. I had a lot of fun playing!
Very impressive AI. The puzzles were fun and challenging to solve and I the way you linked the game to the theme was creative.
i like you have to work with the AI and the level components to complete the puzzle!
Very clever puzzle!
Great puzzles and interpretation of the theme! Also, very interested to know how you programmed the monster AI. Well done!
