This is a really cool concept. Having to work out the moves in advance is a really fun and interesting mechanic

Thanks! As soon as we got the idea we knew it was what we would go with for the competition.

We’re going to do a full release after the jam is over, and sound effects and music are among the top priorities! Check back here after the jam and maybe we’ll have more info!
That’s a good thought about the balancing, right now the game just generates a random sequence that’s guaranteed to be possible within a certain number of moves from the player’s current position, but I didn’t really put any thought into making sure the sequences are complex enough. We’ll discuss it and maybe consider changing it in the game’s full release… (stay tuned for that!)

Wow thank you for the feedback!! Grady and I used to make small games together back in highschool but we have been rather preoccupied for the last few years with college. Because of current world situations, we suddenly had a bit more time on our hands so I suggested we do this game jam, and man was it a good idea!
I feel like making this game reestablished our passion towards making games, and I feel like we might continue work on our older games, so stay tuned for those if you liked the feel of this game :)

Strange... I run it through the Itch app and it works fine (also Windows). I think I might know what is causing that problem, and I will do some messing around to see if I can cause it and then fix it. In the meantime, let me know if it works fine when download through the website :)

Different colored arrows is a good idea, but I'd have to rewatch Mark's video on accessibility first XD.
We plan on adding music and sounds in a future update so stay posted :)

Sound effects were originally intended, but we got pretty close to the end of the submission time. We will definitely be adding them in a future update though so stay tuned!

We wanted to add them but we ran out of time for them... they'll likely be coming in a future update though!

After the jam is over we definitely intend to add that feature. In fact, that was the idea from the start, but we wanted to get other features out of the way first. As you can see, we submitted with a little over 5 minutes left before the deadline, and I still haven't slept in 36 hours XD.
Thanks for the feedback :)

Yeah as Cooper said, these ideas were on the table, we just didn't have enough time to implement everything. This game is supposed to be challenging, and painting the entire maze is supposed to be extremely hard. Right now it's more of a high score game. Glad you enjoyed it though!
