Cool puzzle game ! Maybe not a bug but the snipers turn before you move which can lead to unexpected death... but when you know it, it is not that hard to take into account.

Good thing I read the comments to understand your interpretation of the theme haha.

Relaxing, interesting, good pixel art, ...

Just one question: when will we have more levels? ;)

Simple cute game, would love to see more levels with more types of hunters and more interesting puzzles. Some more feedback on where the hunters are moving to or are going to aim would be nice to add in a post-jam version :)

Loved the welcome screen animation.

When playing first level, I was planning on telling you to allow to move while the button is down, but I don’t feel that anymore.

This is simple but well designed. The only thing is it doesn’t look like a game show.

Kudos nonetheless!

Thank you for playing our game! We went with a very unique approach to what "game show" means. We used the definition of game that means a hunted animal (which in our case is the deer) and show as to present (in our game you "show" the path for the deer to escape its hunters). I know it is a little bit off the beaten path but we thought it would be interesting to try and interpret the theme as weirdly as possible.

Honestly one of my favorite games i've played so far! I could see myself buying this as an actual game if there were some more levels and a few more obstacles added in as it went along! Loved the art, gameplay was really fun, love the theme. All around great!

Spinning snipers gave me some trouble, killing me after I left their line of sight.

And yet their poor sportsmanship left a much weaker impression than your amazing soundtrack. Heartbeat motif is a nice touch, implying both calmness and vulnerability. I like it very much.

Really a calm experience, though there were some times where the snipers would shoot before they rotated which left some mixed feelings, it was so peaceful, would play more if it had more levels, and the art was really nice, I liked the animations of the deer, tho it kinda felt sticky when they would snap to the grid because the animation wasn't long enough. though i don't see how it fit the game show theme

Yeah the idea was that the deer was game as in a hunted animal and the user shows the deer the path. Hence a gameshow. Thanks for the feedback. Honestly, those were all things we wanted to work on but didn't have enough time.
