This was a very cool game concept!  I would love to see you develop the artwork more but I did love the art of the pinata itself!  Nice job!

Nuff has been said. But I'll try to add something new to the feedback line:

I believe adding the controls directly to the levels would have been a better way of tutoring.
Like in the blindfold level, let the controls appear behind the guard.
A generally popular trend in many games I like..!

Keep on fighting,

Cool concept, I wish there were more levels to test out the mechanics :-)

I would recommend you to update your game page (this is allowed during the rating phase, just be careful not to delete your game), add screenshots and a thumbnail. This would give you more traffic and feedback for the jam.

It bothered me a bit that you play the entire game with the keyboard but navigate the menus with the mouse. So after each level I have to take my right hand off the keyboard and move the mouse. A solution for this would have been to use the pinata's abilities with the left and right mouse button, or to enable menu navigation with the keyboard as well. I also wasn't sure how to use the blindfold. Finally figured it out through trial and error. I would have continued playing but unfortunately the game ended far too early. All in all, I think this is a solid submission. Good job.

Can't stress this enough - I really wish there was a thumbnail.

Cute people made this!

Instruction screen provides clear and direct game controls and directions.

Goals and level exits easily identifiable.

Has great potential as a cute puzzle game :3
