Incredible entry, I loved to play such a solid puzzle game! The overall look is very polished, with great graphics and audio. The core mechanic fits the theme and is pretty fun, even if the levels are not obvious and requires a bit of thinking (which is positive, don't get me wrong!). More specifically, I perceived a sensible increment of difficulty between levels 8 and 9, with the last two levels demanding some accurate timing.
After a lot of attempts, I managed to reach the end :D
Congratulations, I really enjoyed your game!

Thank you!! I am glad you enjoyed the game and were able to make it to the end! I wanted the difficultly to increase throughout, but perhaps it increased a little too abruptly there at the end. 😅
No, don't worry, it was perfectly fine! With such a limited time for the game development, I think that putting a couple of difficult levels was the right idea to show the possible range of the gameplay. I just thought that, if you plan to expand this, knowing the perceived difficulty could be an useful feedback, even if it's from a single playtester :)

It's wonderful feedback. I watched some people close to me play and observed the difficulty spike for them too. I would certainly smooth things out if possible with more levels. :)
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! We did have similar ideas, and I really enjoyed your implementation of it.
The enemy patrol, and when they attacked, I was worried would be unclear. If I had time I would have made some different art for the enemies going up and down versus left and right. The way you had little icons indicating the danger zones was clever and I wish I had thought of that. The packed scenes with lots of routes was also tricky. Maybe I should have used lines instead of dots and perhaps given them different colors or shades.

Wow! Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it and that you were able to get to the end. Its always challenging to know whether the difficulty curve is too easy or too hard, so hopefully I found a good place in the middle this time.
