I love the arcade style of this game. Very interesting take on the theme!
Damn Im loving the graphics and especially the music! Well made guys!
Looks, sounds, plays good, and feels pretty authentic; something I've come to expect from your games!
a few nitpicks:
i found myself often spamming O as a fruitless way to speed up the intermission screens and, during game over, it caused me to instantly start a new game and lose my progress twice.
I wish the game would do that pacman style position shifting when you're turning corners without being fully in the middle of a tile, I got snagged a good amount while trying to get around fast.
It's possible that I just didn't pay enough attention, but I thought the enemy movement was quite difficult to predict, which became a little annoying for me in the later levels when trying to time my actions to where they are.
Love the retro NES vibe - the sound and the graphics are really good! The puzzles were fun, ramped up well. Nicely done!
I’m a sucker for this kind of tile pizzle, so that’s an easy win. But, the polish on display here is astounding. Great music, perfect NES graphics. Menu, controls and UI. Top notch!

A very well-made, fun, and beautiful game inspired by the Sega Master System. Everything is absolutely stunning, from the puzzles and gameplay to the art and music! This should definitely be on your radar for testing and rating. You won’t regret it!
