Great puzzle game design!  Definitely interesting to see the ways you can finish them. Good job!

Developer

Thanks!

This was neat! Loved the limitations, great use of Isometric in Construct 3 (major points for C3!)

I felt the camera could use lerping and the mouse drag could have been more accurate. A in-game tutorial would be great, all though controls on home screen would suffice.

Loved the ideas of like “oh, ok, got to route this one over a few times and - shoot no!”

Good use of the redo button with new colors, loved that.

Really straight forward and fun game, the puzzles are not overly difficult (which is great to see in a jam). would love to see a more developed game from this with sounds, extra levels and all the bells and whistles. Good job!

Nice game! I agree with others that having the reset leave the arrows out on the board would be great to decrease repetition. Otherwise, I enjoyed it, nice work!

Developer

Thank you.

I'll for sure be changing it after voting closes.

Nice puzzle game! It took me some time to figure out that you can replace the arrow when on pause. But in the end I've completed all the puzzles. Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing! If it's any consolation, you don't HAVE to move a placed arrow to finish any of the puzzles.

Oh haha, then I'm just dumb... I'll try again

Solid job with this one! Fun little puzzler, but very solvable and satisfying when things clicked into place!

Good game! Completely agree with Sid Fish Games about reset and sounds. 

Really enjoyed playing it!

Hiya, as you mentioned we had similar concepts for this jam so obviously I reckon you nailed the theme and restriction :). I had fun playing and thought the puzzles were challenging. I would have preferred the reset option not reset the tiles on the board so you can gradually tweak them during the running of the bots. Would have also been great to have some music and sound effects. Nice work :)

Thanks! You guys definitely did it better, but I'm glad it gave some fun!

I'll definitely fix the tile setting for any future releases, and yes, I do need sound eventually.

By the way, Level 7 of Packing is slowly driving me insane.  :)
