Might as well be one of the best games I have played on this jam. The polish, the visuals, the audio and the difficulty is there

Great puzzle

Cute little puzzle game, but I have a few suggestions.

The way the levels were set out encouraged me to find easier ways solve it by going to the edge of the grid rather than going through the middle and dealing with the obstacles, which make the solve less satisfying.

I also found it a bit tedious to have to click and drag the ship around, this could be helped by adding more visual feedback when you tap the ship -  or maybe let the player tap the ship, then show all the squares the ship can move to, and they can tap again to choose the move location.

In terms of progression, I think it could be a lot more granular, eg adding one shell and getting the player to deal with it.

Nice job, I love puzzle games and would like to see more of them!

First puzzle game I've seen this jam! Very clean. Not really my genre but the game I think is objectively great. I think the theme could've been better but visuals, audio, and gameplay seem great!

Glad you enjoyed it!

WHAT? This game is already so polished, it looks like straight from the playstore. How the hell did you do such fitting graphics? And those smooth transations? Realy nice work. I realy was strggeling 4 or 5 stars at every category. That`s the first time that happened to me and i think it is because it just feels allready complete. Make 50 more lvs and launch it as a mobile app!

Thank you for the encouraging comment! 

Funny enough, I was worried about the game not being that good since I only had 4 to 5 hours a day to work on it due to my full time job.  I even had to rush the level design and didn’t test the levels properly.


However, your comment made me feel a lot more confident about the game, I’m genuinely grateful! 


Maybe I will turn it into a mobile game for real, after all, I had so much fun working on it!

Yeah. And it was my honest opinion after 20+ games played from this jam. It is not my typical game i play genrewise, but I think the overall of the game is just on point. Noone in the appstore would be able to tell that this was a gamejam game (except for the amount of content and metaprogression of course).
