Love those kind of puzzle games.\nAwesome Pixel art and music.\n\nSome small nitpicks:\n- I wish I could rotate the player without having to rotate the whole tile. It happened quite often, that a sword or enemy was just behind me (paths were connected), but I was looking in the wrong direction.\n- In my opinion just keep the zoomed out version and keep the buttons advance, shift, rotate on the same screen. No need to switch back and forth all the time. :)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":950990,"author_name":"Fragment Games","author_uid":"fragment-games","epoch":1683058944,"text":"Really like the color pallet on this one :) A nice entry!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":951013,"author_name":"PacoDev","author_uid":"pacodev","epoch":1683059070,"text":"I love puzzle games like this one! had a great time playing, it felt claustrophobic at times but overall had a good time!!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":951019,"author_name":"Joe Cowman","author_uid":"joe-cowman","epoch":1683059116,"text":"Really fun and polished game with a unique puzzle mechanic!

I thought the random direction was determined when you click the advance button.\n\nAn option to set the WebGL build in full screen would have be a plus.
