The core concept of using your movement to affect the enemies' positions in order to clear a path forward is really, really good. Unfortunately, without a tutorial and with the default difficulty being at 3 (instead of 6), it took me a long time to figure things out. It is also not clear which enemies will be affected by your moves and how, even after playing awhile. All that being said, this concept is 100% worth polishing up. With the right difficulty curve and more clear enemy movements, this would make for a really good app. I can easily see it as one of those last-as-long-as-you-can highscore games with short play sessions. Seriously, consider continuing work on this. I had a very good time with this.

way too confusing/hard without a real tutorial

Nice game. I would advice to make a tutorial level instead of text based instructions. Nice start.

Well done I had the same problem with my text in my first game. Solution was to make the Canvas which the text is in Scale with the screen size so they go go outside of the screen. Game is too hard for me as I cannot managed to retrace my steps back but that's to be expected for a first game. 

Well done on managing to complete it.

Interesting. But really hard to understand. Player should memorise all the movements actually. Maybe movement could be easier or at least there could be a tutorial that makes a lot easier to understand. Also couldn't get the enemy behaviour. Should be an interesting algorithm. I couldn't pass the first level. So if it is not just because I couldn't understand how the game works, it should be really hard. Reaallly hard I mean. But couldn't really understand the game. If I could, it really seems interesting. Good game, good graphics.. and interesting. Congrats!

Interesting concept, but sure can use more explanation on how things work. It's really hard for me to actually grasp what's going on though.

Hi! Good first entry to a game jam! The menus are complete and you have everything you'd expect a game to have for it to start, play, and finish gracefully. The difficulty was quite high for me, but I do see a difficulty adjustment setting. Keep on developing and participating in Game Jams!

Please also review and rate my game. Thank you!

I liked a lot the idea of this game. It had some flaws, like the first level being super hard or the relation between the player and the enemies being hard to remember. Small things that can be improved but still was a great entry.

Sometimes the buttons' sound effects didn't play and also why is 6 easier than 1? Only small details which aren't important at all. 

I had fun playing this game and is definitely a good entry, well done!

Would appreciate if you could check out my game and leave a rating, thanks :)

The first level is way to hard.
WAY TO HARD.
Normally you would start with one enemie so the player can understand what is happening.

pretty interesting a bit confusing but fun :D

Very cool and unique puzzle game. For me it was confusing and tough to remember how the enemies would move based on how I moved. Maybe having a cheat sheet with that info in the game screen would be helpful. I had a lot of fun with it though

Nice puzzle strategy game. Hard to understand at first, but after some trial / error manage to find out, although always loose in the last movement backward. I think a tutorial level with less difficult than the gameplay would help. But it's a nice concept anyway.
Congratulations!

That was really hard for me, but a nice approach for theme. I also liked the music.

Nice job completing your first game jam game!  The game was a bit confusing, and it would have been nice to have what the move are on the gameplay instead of the main menu. (Because I couldn't remember what buttons moved the red boxes which way,  haha!) But solid game!

Interesting puzzle idea. it was hard to figure out at first. but great job making a unique puzzle game! Please check out my game if you haven't :D

Really loved the concept, it's very clever. Makes the player need to think carefully. But I think it would be better if you give a tutorial level to make the player understand how this game works a little bit better. I really enjoyed playing this game (^‿^)
