This was an interesting concept and you did a great job adding challenge and switching things up. The penalty for dying never felt bad so I easily found myself trying over and over again. Definitely a nice take on the theme!

Solid game! There were loads of levels and I finished them all! I noticed a few difficulty spikes, especially on "New Manegement", I was about to give up on that one but I made it after a while. I really liked the 8bit music and sounds too.

Thanks for playing and finishing it! Officialy the first one to do it (I didn't have time to playtest it all the way through lol)

Yeah the difficulty curve is all over the place and probably a bit too unforgiving still. Appreciate your words and your feedback :)

I had many moments of being just a bit early/late to move and getting spotted beacuse of that. It would have been great with some kind of grace period when enemies are just about to move, it would make it feel a lot better and less frustrating.

The enemy hitbox being so big is definitely frustrating, something I gotta look out for when making future games. Much appreciation for your comments :)
