Such an original concept! The levels were quite hard, but really engaging. The art is great and so is the audio. Very solid submission, great job!
Thanks!
This is a really interesting concept. I found the timing a bit tricky and I think I cheesed one of the levels, but I got to the end. The respawning after death seemed a bit strange, as usually I needed to restart the level anyway. Solid pixel art and a polished feel. Great work!
Thanks! There was one level that you could cheese but I intentionally left it there to see if anyone found it. I do think that the death mechanic did need some work. Thanks again!
Wow. Underrated game. This is not just one of the more unique implementations of the theme but it is a tightly made little game with consistent style. Take these well deserved 5 stars.
Thanks so much!
Nice combination of puzzle+timing mechanics! I can see this having tough levels with very precise timing and/or being hard to figure in which order you should kill the enemies.
Thanks so much!
Cool game!
I liked the arrow mechanic, but found the timing hard. Also I would like it if when I died it automatically restarted the level and also no lives. Overall a fun game!
Thanks! I agree with both of those. The lives weren't very necessary and probably just took up extra time on my part. I also agree that the timing could be finicky at times.
The game's conceit is fun and I liked how drastic the movement granted by the enemies were. The timing seemed really finnicky with the 'wicks', which also as a note were not apparent to me initially as something to shoot. My first impression was that they were platforms.
The color palette did seem a bit overly much I found it hard to focus on my tiny little character.
Thanks! I do agree that the timing could use some work.
