That was brilliant ! That green diamond got me all the way the first time I reached it... but not the second time, I may enter now :)
That seem like a lot of rules, with priorities and so on, really impressive in such a short time. Among the few things that bothered me: That 4 looks like a 9 because of the top right pixel (which simply shouldn't be there ?), it was pretty hard to find the rule when I was reading a 9, but then it made sense. Also a bit more contrast on the second type of arrow could be nice, it's hard to distinguish on bad monitors. And some comments are great but some are a bit too harsh on the player, it makes them face their own stupidity for not understanding the rules soon enough, which is pretty unpleasant and can be frustrating. It fits the background idea but can make people stop to play sooner than they would have otherwise..

Other than that it is really an impressive game !

Developer

All your comments are spot on and changes I should implement. Thank you for the feedback!

Great game !

I understood the part with the numbers and the one with the snake, but it's very complicated to crack the code.

I love the concept! I did not get all the rules, but made it through regardless.

Developer

Yes. There is still a lot of room for balancing and pacing improvements. I am looking forward to it.

P.S. Congrats! You are now part of the Inner Circle.

Really well made game, I got to level 29 after about 6 mins of trying, i was a bit tricky figuring out the rules once there was multiple symbols at once, but very fun and intriguing game, I'm very curious about what's at the end :)

I want to be part of the inner circle but I haven't figured out all the symbols / symbol math yet.

A very good and polished entry! I couldn't get past level 30 or so without always dropping down, I feel a bit stupid :D

Maybe I'll need to grab and some pen and paper.

I love the idea of the game  its fun and the comments are cool

Really nice game, the puzzle aspect of it is really well done. The difficulty climbs fairly steeply once the symbols get involved but it's still fun. I love the sarcastic comments. Nice to see another Fantasy Console Entry.
