But I got bored reading all the rules so I just mostly read the only rule that would solve the last square beside the exit and trialed and errored everything else. It was fun just doing the trial and error and eventually intuitively figure it out. For impatient people like me I would suggest adding a highlight to indicate when you can move into a space. That way the player realizes they satisfied a rule and can intuitively figure it out without reading. Just my two cents. Like the game very much over all. Good job.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":752421,"author_name":"LDJam user 259103","author_uid":"259103","epoch":1633720399,"text":"I think more of a tutorial would've really helped this game - it took me a long time to figure out what I was supposed to do.

Thanks for submitting your game during our live, I finally had the time to come back and rate everything I played so far!\n\nAs I said live, your game was really innovative and interesting. I think the rules are not too complex but they are too hard to understand in a text form. Other than that, once we understand them, your game is pretty fun and a good challenging puzzle! Great Job! I am curious to see what you will create in the future (and beyond)\n\nHere is a link to the vod of the review if you wish to see it again:
