  • Solid game, without any malware! (bonus points for that) I really enjoyed the art style and direction, and had no issues! Its a bit tough, but 100% a skill issue. Would be a 5 for play ability and theme if there was just a bit more, like if the mold did something besides cost a turn.

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Why yes i did, in fact

Tell us about your game!
Mold has overtaken the peaceful snails, and only one can save them: Milk, a snail made of jam. You must spread jam and use cards to get to the Star on each level. Collect all the stars to win!

CONTROLS:
WASD to move
Space to open inventory, use card, and place card
Left Shift to cancel (close inventory, stop placing card)
E and Q to rotate card placement

MOVEMENT AND TURNS:
Use WASD keys to move. Every time you move, the enemies 'get a turn', meaning they get a chance to move or attack you.

JAM AND MOLD:
Jam is spread underneath you when you move, and mold is spread underneath enemies when they move. When you move onto a tile that has jam, the enemies do not get a turn.

CARDS:
Press spacebar to open the inventory, then use A and D keys to select a card. Press space to use that card, which will highlight tiles on the map in the same pattern shown in the top-left of the card. Use WASD to move the card, and Q and E to rotate it. You cannot place it if it is highlighted red, because it is obstructed by either you, an enemy, a wall, or an item pickup. If it is green, you can place it by pressing space, which will spread jam in the pattern shown.
Placing a card does not give the enemies a turn.

ENEMIES:
To attack an enemy, simply walk into them. You will stay on your tile, but they will die, and possibly drop an item pickup. If an enemy is next to you when they get a turn, they will attack you, and you will lose half a heart of health.

ITEMS:
Sometimes enemies will drop a card when defeated, and one will spawn on each level. Walk onto these and you will gain another card. If you already have four cards, nothing will happen.

WINNING:
Get to the star to get to the next level. After all the levels, you win!
