Excellent presentation, I'm a sucker for good pixel art (if my own game didn't give that away). A great mix of ideas that you got to work well well with one another
Tysm!
No worries, I would be interested your your opinion of my game it you get the chance
Great game! Just a lil bit confusion on figure out the arrows' orientation when rotating the dungeon! Also the presentation is really good and creative! Well done!
Hi there! Did you play using the mouse or keyboard?
I tried both
Ah ok! Just checking because there is a preview of your turn if you hover over the arrows with your mouse. Some have missed the mouse controls.
Very nice inspiration from a multitude of games, including Baba is You. A creative puzzle game. GG!
Interesting game! Art and music perfect. I have some difficult to get the orientation correct, but maybe it's only my problem. Good job guys!!!
Thank you for the comment. Out of curiosity did you play with keyboard or mouse?
With the keyboard
Try playing with the mouse and hovering over the arrows. It should fix any issues!
I played with the mouse and I must admit is so much better!!! Love the skeletons part too >3
Amazing game, the music is perfect
From the very beginning this game was a work of genius. Like peering into the Mona Lisa, each second of interaction revealed another deep intricacy that only the moment before had seemed just out of reach. It was if the makers of this game had reached inside me and seized upon my very essence. The music, like a throbbing siren calling to me, the call of the void! The commentary on the human condition is second to none. In a sense we all are little gnome men trapped in confusing dungeons just looking for ways out as the ground crumbles beneath our feet. At some point we realize that stagnation is death! You want to talk about roles reversed! It was as if my roll has been transformed from player to reyalp. What more can one say? Everyone involved with this has slayed to the highest degree one can slay. So I say again, SLAY!
The game is fantastic, congrats to the team! If you ever expand it, just make sure you distinguish 'fallable' squares from the edge of the game. You might need that for larger levels!
Thank you! That's a great point!
At one hand this is really cool and challenging, at the other it constantly makes you mistake which way you are supposed to turn. Like you had the right plan in mind but then press a key and the board turns the other way than you imagined. I think the arrows in the UI could better portray how the board will turn. You could say that these mistakes are main part of gameplay but I feel like they add a bit too much frustration. Well put together game, congratz
Thanks for the comment. We definitely have thought up a few different ways to make the UI more intuitive, however, if you hover over the arrows with your mouse you'll get a sneak peak of the way the level will turn. Hope that helps!
Whoa, I wish I knew that! Seems like a great way to fix the problem! I guess playing with the keyboard was the issue. I think I'd even recommend disabling it, or better - making it so that on button press it does the little tweak to show where it will move and the board turns on key release after press :)
Good idea! I put it in the description so hopefully some people see it now.
Very challenging and fun! Absolutely love the artstyle to it!
hard game and great concept, but im no good at it
Cool concept! The lvl design is quite challenging and you got really cool and polished aesthetics!
really great entry! I killed my time a lot, even tho i have small brain for this game
can't believe you finished this whole game within 48 hours! well done!
This is really good, even though I got confused easily by the movement lol. Also the music is amazing too, kinda reminds me of crypt of the necro dancer.
Thank you! I took a lot of inspiration from Crypt of the Necrodancer actually! Danny B is a great composer. I'll have a soundtrack up soon :)
Love it!
Really great concept and execution, the pixel art was sharp and the music was catchy. Whoever was in charge of level layout has megamind brain, those levels were super tough. Great entry
Thank you so much <3 Trying to storyboard the levels in Photoshop was pretty confusing but I'm so glad I did, when we got to implementing them, having ready levels that could then be iterated on made the process a lot faster.
The turning was a little disorientating and took some time getting used to, but having the small turn helped get me used to it. Otherwise, fun puzzle game!
As someone else who made a level rotating game, I gotta say, this was really well executed and really challenging. Great job!
The art and game are really cool, but I found the controls pretty confusing and often turned the level in the opposite way I intended. I didn't know there was a preview mode.
Just awesome, very polished, interesting and fun! Music and art are awesome, congrats to the team!
Nice take, gorgeous presentation. The grid rotation added to what direction characters would move were a bit confusing at first trying keyboard only; But the mouse hover preview helped.
Would be perfect for mobile - I could see myself playing it a lot on a bus stop.
