Really great idea. The story was just enough to add some life to the game. The UI was really satisfying and the main puzzle mechanic is a lot of fun. I wish there had been more to it as the game progressed, things that complicate the scene or different turtles with different abilities, etc. But I still liked it a lot and some of the puzzles were a good challenge. This seems like a great game to keep building onto, because it feels like you’re onto a great idea here.

Great job on this. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.

Great game! Really unique and fun puzzle mechanics and can be pretty tricky at times. Really great game!

Submitted

Awesome puzzle game! Great idea and execution. 
The story does not seem long and tutorials are nice. I enjoyed it very much!

Submitted

Wow, very challenging puzzles! Great gameplay loop and music! Tile based games are certainly a lot of fun when implemented right!

Submitted

Loved it! Especially the art style. I used pixel art as well.

If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.

Really cute game, I don't know why there are things such as keys and doors but great overall.

I hereby swear and promise that I will use the golden shell for good =p.

That was such a clever take on the theme! Honestly, everybody went for "you are not alone = you control multiple players", but having a "you have other people following the same quest" is GENIUS! This game looks like nothing else. The concept is awesome, the puzzles are really good, the begining and ending texts were a nice addition, and wow, all these levels oO! So much content for a 7-days jam!

Kudos to the team, you can be proud of your game =)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game so much!

HOORAY I used the shell for good! 

Really fun game.  I played all the way to the end, which is rare for me in a 20 level game jam game.  The difficulty progression on this was on point and it had just the right amount of training.  Even though there was a bunch of text at the beginning, but you made it fun to read - especially the final point "You. Are. Not. Alone".  The animations were a great way to keep the intro interesting.  Good luck in the jam!

Great work! Feels very solid and minimistic in a good way. I enjoyed finishing it :) The thing I wish was there though - other turtles speed indication (or, even better - theirs movement plan for the turn, smth like in "Into the Breach"). It was more about trial and error for me, which is not a bad thing, but with open info it would be a great turn based puzzle. Just imho I thought worth sharing :)

I thought about adding that and that would be very easy but I wanted to keep the game simple for the game jam version. Thank you for playing!

This game is so much fun to play.

Submitted

Thought this was an amazing concept! You really tied everything together from the movement, graphics, sfx, music and story telling. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Glad to hear you had fun with the game.

Submitted

Very well tied together with matching graphics, music and everything! Fells like a complete minigame - because it is! A bit easy in the beginning, and not too much variation, but a well designed game.

Submitted

I wish this game had 30 levels, nice job!

Developer(+1)

I probably could have created that in the time frame, but I wanted to keep everything small so that it could be a fun, quick game experience.

Submitted

interesting concept. Though it gets a little repetitive after a while puzzle wise, it’s a very interesting idea. I love it

Submitted

Seemed too easy on the first half. Then it got pretty tough. I'm now immortal!

Submitted

Nice puzzles, it is hard to find the balance between too hard and too easy, I think you nailed it. Nice submission

Developer

Thank you!

I have the golden shell, I´m invincible now! And in love... with turtles and puzzles, great game!

Submitted
