I enjoyed this very much - especially the writing :D

While playing, I wasn’t able to effectively employ the main mechanical twist (defocus) - however, I believe there is potential there.

All in all this was quite complete, and engaging - awesome work!

Great jamming with you 🥳

Thank you very much, I am happy you enjoyed the writing!

How many turns did you have left when you won? I was unsure how tight to make that - I suspect defocus is most important in getting turn count down by avoiding encounters and pre-mapping mazes. I erred on the cautious side as I'd rather people win and treat final turn count as a high score :>

Sadly I did not achieve a winning run - that being said I got to level 13/20 and had plenty of turns left.

I should return to the game again and demand victory, I’ll let you know if I accomplish that feat 🙇🏻‍♂️
