Ares, Fairies, and Berries by triplefox

made by triplefox for LD 44 (JAM)

Ares, the god of war, has hatched a plan to create chaos and war: Bring as much wine as possible to Dionysus, the god of wine, so that he will make the world drunk. However, Ares spills wine from his goblet with each step he takes, and leaves a path of flame behind him, making it dangerous to backtrack. Can you find a way through the labyrinth to make Dionysus merry?!

Note for players: During later levels of the game you unlock the buttons to activate your diagonal and dash powers. They appear at the top left, click to activate them.

A nice little puzzle game. The concept was simple but did the job. I played for awhile but was unable to figure out how to move diagonally or use the dash. I forget which level I made it to, but I'm not sure it was possible with just the standard moves. Maybe an explanation of the controls somewhere would be helpful?

@minibobbo Noted on the diagonal and dash, they unlock partway through. I added some documentation to the description.

Cute puzzle game. As mentioned by another, simple concept, but fun and definitely an interesting thinking challenge. Well done!

A tricky little game, but fun nonetheless! It actually has quite some potential. Wasn't sure what to do with the grapes at first however, maybe some words on the bottom or something to tell players what does what.

Nice music and models btw.

Controls need to be explained better. i finally figured out who i was and how to move up/down/left/right, but not sure how to do a diagonal move or a dash. Highlighting the tiles with move options would be a nice improvement to help max it easier to play.

Also when you rotate the camera ares goes off the screen a bit.

The art style is really nice and i like the concept of the game.

Cool concept I didn't really know, who I was in the beggining, but other than that well done.
