the game is very good! the going through walls mechanic felt a little under used, its not a problem im just nitpicking :)

Simple but engaging gameplay, great graphics, all around a pretty enjoyable experience! My main recommendation would be polishing up level design a bit. If a gap between two statically placed enemies can be traveled through, it should be incredibly clear. There were a couple times where I got stuck for a second because i didn't realize i could make it through a gap, and was looking for another way around. Awesome game though!

The movement feels incredible! so smooth and never though about movement that way! good job on that!

Really unique idea! I liked that you can take shortcuts and don't need to take a specific route (like go to every single spot). 
I'm not gonna be surprised if your game get in the top games! Congrats!

lots of discovery of how the game works along the way, appreciate a lot how it doesn’t over explain and trusts the player.

honestly I started super “meh” about it, ok you click these dots and so on… then the puzzly aspects started to come up, then getting stuck in a corner and being forced to figure out the turning mechanic. really great design forcing people to learn when they need it.

So basically went from “meh, this is ok I guess” to “wow this is clever and I had fun” as I played it.

my main critique is you have a “i’m charging my ultimate” mechanic, there’s not really that much tie in wit the theme.

Nice game! Fun to play, realizing you can click to another tile mid-transit was a fun little a-ha moment, and the setting ablaze mechanic being multi-faceted (speed, more vision so you can click further away tiles, burning through obstacles) is a good touch! I think the music gets a little rough with the constant kick blasting through, but definitely bonus points for doing that AND the whole game yourself!!

Cool game, wish it was a bit more zoomed out though

I actually love this concept, the gameplay is pretty unique. With a bit more polishing, this would actually make a great mobile game! Even the name is awesome
