What a fantastic game! I haven't played it all the way through, unfortunately, but I think it's practically ready for release. A fantastic game.

Great game! It's one of the best game that uses this interpretation of the theme I've played so far yet.

Arts is nice, albeit a bit simple. The love the soundtrack lol. The sound effects are not bad, but the music just takes the cake haha.

The gameplay is very well done. I think it could have been better if you didn't have the cheat code at all since it's possible to beat the game normally (which I did, without reading spoilers). One thing I didn't like, but perhaps necessary for the game balance, is that there's no way to turn to a direction without moving the character in that same direction. I do love the surprise and pleasure when you discover a mechanic though, so that was great.

Overall it's a very amazing entry. Good job for being able to make this in 3 days!

Pretty solid puzzle, I like where the snakes only move when player also move. The snake pixel art and overall art style also really good in my opinion!

Awesome concept that's a ton of fun to play! I loved the mechanics and really enjoyed discovering how to use the glitched areas in each stage.  Great overall presentation and difficulty progression, too. Really enjoyed it!

This is so good, especially the way the level selection works after looping back. I do know that I would not have realised the UI was the way it was if I hadn't caught a glimpse when checking the hints for something else. Great work and please let your non-itchy friend know too.

Found the secret room! What an amazing puzzle with a lot of twist

Pretty cool game, pretty polished, for the most part. in the web version, at least for me, level 3 was unbeatable, as the cube that protected the snake didn't work for some reason, had to download the game to make it work. Also, it would be better if the blocks that can be moved had a different sprite, as know it is a bit confusing sometimes which, concrete blocks are movable.

I couldn't get pass level 14, I just don't know what you are supposed to do.


Overall pretty cool puzzle game. good potential

Fun little block pusher with a few notable mechanics like having coins carry over between deaths. Liked the choice of music

Really nice sokoban, 20 levels, to me it's an impressive number considering the time we had to dev. I never tried to design this kind of puzzle, but I expect creating them with a playable and fun difficulty is not easy at all. Congratulations !

A well designed and polished entry! I got stuck on Level 14, but the fact that this much content was made is quite impressive. Good work!
