I really can't tell which direction the AI goes when it hits a wall. No undo as well.

Developer

Thank you for trying the game. The AI basically slides across the wall if it can't go through, if it goes right into a wall, it moves down, if it goes left into a wall it moves up, if it goes down into a wall, it moves right and if it goes up into a wall it moves left. I could have made this clearer in the tutorial level/s but didn't realize at the time that the mechanic might be hard to understand for some people. 

I ran out of time to add a polished undo button (I did make one but it was really buggy, so left it out), I will add undo in a post-jam update.

I don't really know how, but sometimes the AI doesn't slide across the wall. 

Developer

If the player cannot move then the AI will not move.

Also I managed to move diagonally. You can move through walls with this and the AI won't follow you (not diagonaly).

Developer(+1)

Oh, you can move diagonally into some walls. Oops. The AI still attempts to follow me when I do it though? I'll just fix it in the post-jam build I guess (as well as add the undo button).

Thank you! (I could have balanced the difficulty a bit better)

love the puzzle desing

Developer

Thanks, I tried to think of interesting ways that the mechanic could be used and made a level/puzzle out of it.

Interesting play on the mirrored movement concept, had me scratching my head a good couple times

Developer

Thank you! Did you collect any of the extra crystals?
