Challenging, polished game. I included it in my GMTK Game Jam 2019 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

This is a really well designed and polished game. I found it kind of difficult to navigate the levels; I suggest adding a dashed-line grid to know where spaces may be (I actually had to cheat a little, by placing my fingers on certain key spots). The visuals and audio were nice.

This game is so polished it makes me jealous. You have an incredible amount of content, like you could easily release this as the full game. You even had time to put in achievements! Again all I can say is that I am jealous!
Managing to propose so much content while working all alone... and with quite polished graphics, at that! Damn, I'm jealous! You're too good! XD
The only little thing I could reproch would be the adherence to the theme. We can use the all-seeing eye only once, yes, but its function is not applied once, as the player can in fact see the labyrinth multiple times. But that's quibbling, really.
thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you liked it. My adherence to the theme was mostly by making the game entirely 1bit and with 1 screen per level but I see what you mean with the all seeing eye, I did think about letting the player only use it once but that would make the game far more difficult and it's already pretty tough 😂
Polished until you can see your reflection in it! And a very clever idea! Only feedback would be maybe add a grid for easy space counting and allow players to skip the blinking "Wait" parts if they want. Also, amazing job creating sooo much content in so little time. Mad respect :D
Fantastic job! The main mechanic is pretty neat although I wish the tiles would disappear faster and maybe the game could wait until you press a button until it does so. It's super polished and I certainly didn't expect this many levels in a gamejam game, especially ones with collectible bonuses. The puzzles are pretty varied and well put together too.
I had a LOT of fun with this! Clean and clear graphics, fun puzzles and a cool theme overall! Fun game!!!
Great game! Love the visuals and the design is awesome! Love it!
This is an extremely well designed and thought out game. The controls feel responsive and juicy, and the level disappearing mechanic was very interesting. It would be good to skip the level disappearing animations and get straight into the gameplay though, but other than that - great job!
Definitely an interesting take on the theme and original! I definitely would be interested to see this being developed further!
Well, I was much better at it this morning than I was last night! I guess not being tired helps ha.
I really like it - the only real niggle I have is the waiting time. When you make an accidental mistake or something (like clicking a direction at the end of a boost pad so you go into a wall and you know what your mistake was and you're kicking yourself :P), you just want to get back into it straight away - but you can't, you have to wait! So a skip option would be nice.
Apart from that - loved it. Very nice little game. Carry on with it after the jam!
Interesting concept and well implemented!
I would recommend that you include a visible grid when the level is shown to allow players to count their steps more easily.
There is something about this game that I can't properly name, it is very hard and punishing, but it is really addictive! I reached level 14 and stopped for the fear of getting a heart attach lol
Very good work here! well done :)
I wouldn't like to post comments until the end of the jam to not influence people. However this game was dope. At first it was hard, as any game but once you play it a few more times it gets easier. Overall nice concept and like the minimalistic style of it. Usually you don't see many games like this one around so nice idea, finally something unique :D
