Very cool game! I loved the progression of the story, and the puzzles felt really tight and well-designed although I got stumped pretty quickly. As others have mentioned, it would be nice to have the ability to hold down keys to move a bit faster. Great work all around (all the grid-based movement felt very familiar ;) )

I enjoyed the puzzles. I also like the easy reset. The constant movement of the art and the story make it seem absorbing and nice. My only suggestion is to enable long press, long movement (I have a clicky keyboard and it's a lot of clicking haha). Perhaps with a delay or a "dash" key so someone doesn't accidentally move too far.
I really liked the design of some of your puzzles; they seem to have been really well thought out and you introduce some fun variety. The art style is quite unique and interesting (especially the pulsing, pink walls) of the level.
Thank you very much! I am really bad at visual art, so I'm pretty happy with how the graphics look in general. I think they could be much better, but it was the best I could do. For the level design of the puzzles, I just knew what mechanics I wanted to introduce in each level, then randomly threw walls and the objects I wanted for that mechanic down in arbitrary places, and then played the level over and over, starting over the whole level design from nothing if I didn't like it or tweaking it little by little over and over again if I thought it had potential until I ended up with a level I liked haha.
I liked the Baba is You visual style. I feel like the game would be easier to master but no less of a challenge if you could repeat movements without having to press the key each time you wanted to move.
Great concept and nice dialog system. I really love the music, well done.
Feels nice to play a different type of game rather than the similar rotatory planet games.
I enjoy the story (which is something seldom get to say about puzzle games). It's also rare for a turn based puzzle game has some reaction time elements.
What I miss most is a way to undo a single turn at the time, though I can understand why that might be tricky to implement.
The levels are quite large. Because of this I'd prefer holding the arrow keys to move the character several times.
All in all, good stuff!
Interesting, I like that the card breakable terrain was used in puzzle form, super clever. Fun play!
I came; I saw; I puzzled. Then I became new management!
The tone and overall subject matter was very intriguing to me. I absolutely enjoyed the puzzles. I spent more time than I care to admit figuring them out. Which is a good thing! Plus the way you tied them in with the enemies. Great design work.
As others have said the controls could use some work, but hey it got the job done. Holding to move is only part of the key here, for puzzles like these you need some sort of delay when pushing an object so you don't accidentally over-push. I think Zelda does it best in this regard.
Great entry, I enjoyed it!
