This is my personal favourite game of the jam,  exactly to my tastes. It works well and I like the graphics. My main suggestion for improvement would be that the boar should never move more than one tile per turn.

Overall, its a solid puzzle game, good job. One extra thing I would like to see, that no one has mentioned here in the comments, is for the game to mark (with a red X, for example) all the squares I was eaten in.

This is a clever and puzzling game. I like the visuals and the music. It took me several tries just to get something to work, but once it's solved, it feels great. This is an interesting game that could've been better if there were improvements.

The gameplay seems fun and puzzling, but in a good way. The difficulty curve is fine and they all have a way to solve them. But I kinda have to do trial-and-error just to clear them. Maybe I prefer to have the boars to indicate where they'll move so it'll be easier. And I noticed that the tiger moved first, then the boar. There's a short delay on the boar when the tiger moved. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I'd rather that they both move at the same time. 

But as people said this was your first game jam, you did a solid job. Sorry for being a critique. Hope you improve and make a better game in the future. Good job on finishing the game :)

Clever game and well implemented. It took me a few tries to get what was going on, but once it clicked it felt like a good design. New "tricks" were introduced well, with the levels gradually requiring thinking up new approaches and handling newly introduced patterns and challenges. I figured out you could backtrack fairly quickly, but it could have used a visual indication of the path when you're doing it. I also agree with other comments that getting a hint to the pattern before your first move would be good as it would limit the need to waste a throwaway run. Maybe show them at very high speed, or just hint the first 1-2 moves.

Good job for your first jam! The ability to see boar parts before you act would make it feel less of a trial and error. IMHO good puzzles should be completable in 1 go if you think about the solution long enough.

Also, it was unclear to me that you could move back into previous squares. Not sure if that's a bug or intentional...

Fun puzzle solving, there were plenty of levels too and the difficulty curve felt natural. I will say that the last level was a bit hard, but that's to be expected for a final level.
I would like to see the path that the boars take before I move, I would usually just have to make a random path to see how they move before trying to solve the level. Maybe also a small animation to indicate which boar moved and to where, because it felt like they were teleporting everywhere. On that last level especially it took me a while to understand their pathing.

Still, very fun game, especially for your first game jam!

Really nice for a first jam !

The concept is easy to get & bring enough challenge.

Little bug : The menu scaled weirdly for me. (you can fix that by setting up your canvas to scale with screen size).

Appart from that, solid entry. good job :)
