Ice Tactics by cappa_games

In Ice Tactics you must carefully plan a route around enemies to get your character safely to the exit. Place direction arrows on to the game area to change the direction of your player. Use the pause tile to stop your character to dodge enemies. Click the play button or spacebar to continue. Don't forget to collect all 3 animals or else you won't be able to exit and proceed to the next level.
I plan to continue development on this game, I was only able to implement less than 5 percent of the ideas I got during the brainstorming phase.
On the theme: It might be loosely based around the theme harvest, with the collecting of animals being the closest thing to the theme, but the actual brainstorming of ideas for harvest led to this idea.

Great game though!
If the number of arrows is limited, this will be a very strategic and fun game

### Game
Oooh, a **visual programming puzzle game with action elements**, since monsters move in real time! That's interesting!
Have you ever played a game by [Zachtronics](https://zachtronics.itch.io/), by chance? Programming puzzles is their specialty (and solitaires, I guess?)!
I had to stop playing before the last level since I got **stuck after landing on a pause tile**, just like @archfan7411 said.
A good idea to make playing the game smoother would be **hotkeys to pick up arrows**: `W` would pick up :arrow_up:, `A` would pick up :arrow_left:, and so on, making placing them easier!
### Distribution
Please **mention the platform your game is for** somewhere on your page: I'm on Linux, and I wasn't sure if your game could work on my PC until I downloaded it!
