At first I thought there was no sound.\n* It's sometimes difficult to click on the items in the menu.\n* I wonder if making the items aligned on a grid would make the game better (easy to align items) or worse (the game becomes too easy?).","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Michael Robison","author_uid":"1165619","time":"2019-10-08T16:21:21Z","epoch":1570551681,"modified":1570551681,"text":"I did not expect your mechanic to be playable, but I was completely wrong.

You do have some interface issues but it works well enough. I got a bit stuck in some places until I figured out I could use the door to block the moving enemies and easily kill them.

It was a bit too easy because you were able to create the whole level on your own and some AI counter level building would have been nice but probably also way too much for the jam.\nAnyways, neat game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Foursay","author_uid":"1131586","time":"2019-10-10T04:18:25Z","epoch":1570681105,"modified":1570681105,"text":"This is a cute game with interesting mechanism and I think it should be fun with more levels there!
