I like this game, fun concept!
Awesome game! Both music and art were well-made, but would've love a retry button in the pause menu or anywhere in the game. But other than that, pretty fun and challenging game!
Nice concept! I really liked the SFX!
interesting game
Amazing game! Was in the stream with you, it was really fun!
Thanks for playing! Really appreciate the feedback.
Nice gameplay, presentation, graphics and very polished!
Really loved this one, well polished, great presentation. I really admire that the game won't let you place a block in such a way where it makes the maze impossible to complete. Great job!
Wow! This game is really enjoyable. Very well polished, great music, great gameplay and unique idea. I enjoyed it a lot! Great work.
I loved this game! Very enjoyable, sublime presentation and the reversed roles theme fits perfectly! Serious potential here imo, I hope some feedback helps it (sorry if it’s too long whoops).
On the maybe tweak this side, I really wanted a quick retry method! I also thought score was a bit tight, although maybe it’s intentionally hard. And lastly the scientist was just a tad too fast for me (even though I am experimented with puzzles).
On the other hand, the please keep this things side, the scientist being fast is actually good imo because it keeps the game interesting and adds a somewhat unorthodox challenge for a puzzle game. I also love cheese as a mechanic, and the concept of baiting the scientist to the cheese just feels perfect. And lastly, the rat giving tips was very clever! I can’t recall now if that’s after some retries or straight up at the start, I think the first is best.
Also I think in a future version there could be some simple intro explaining the context. All in all, great game :)
Thank you for playing the game and for the thoughtful review!
Amazing game, cool graphics! Now I finally understand how pathfinding works :)
That's... a surprising benefit to the game that I didn't think about!
Great work! Solid gameplay and great code implementation!
Thank you!
Really clever mechanics and fun gameplay! I loved every puzzle I came across and found it very satisfying when I finally would figure one out. Art and music were also fantastic. Overall, solid game great job! :)
Thanks for playing and rating! As a D&D nerd, I'm definitely gonna have to try your game out.
This is a great game. Reminds me of Quoridor (board game), but timed rather than turn-based. Everything was very intuitive, fluid, and polished, and the algorithm for the scientist was perfectly executed. Well done!
Thank you! Your game was one of my favorites so that means a lot!
This is fantastic! Easily the most fun I've had with a game this jam. So cool and clever a mechanic that uses the theme in the silliest way. Great job!
Thank you!!! That means so much that you enjoyed it!
This is really good! The base mechanic is so simple and easy to understand, but the level design is great and it's surprisingly strategic. Audio is fantastic, art is great, just a super solid puzzle game. Underrated hidden gem imo.
Thank you!! Now I just gotta figure out to make it a... revealed gem? Unhidden gem? Gem.show()?
Great game with stellar audio. Agreed that the scientist could've been a bit slower, but there's a surprising amount of depth to wasting the scientist's time.
Yeah it was one of those things where the levels kind of designed themselves. I didn't have to do much at that phase. It was more that damn scoring system that caused me grief lol
Loved the mechanic, was really hard to figure out where blocks needed to go to make the most of what I had! Surprisingly difficult but very nicely polished, loved the sounds in particular!
The pop noise is a walrus... they are very strange creatures
Cool game! I really like the art style and the music! Very well polished, and 100% deserves more ratings!
Thank you so much!
Fun game with a fun premise. Really enjoyed the strategy involved in wasting the time of the scientist
Hey, this game is really fun! I love the concept and the game is really satisfying to play :0 I wish the scientist moved slower, though, as I couldnt quite build a maze around him in time! Overall, really nice game!
Yeah I should have made him a teenie bit slower! Thanks for playing!
