thank you!! i wanted to try making something 100% gameplay-focused for once, and ngl i was a bit worried how it'd turn out haha. but i'm pretty proud of the result! just figuring out how the tiles and deaths worked was a head scratcher in & of itself lol. and i totally noticed what you're talking about; you're right on the money, rpg maker just doesn't register the tiles fast enough and i knew it'd be frustrating for players but i legit couldn't come up with a solution. i'll try stuff out and update the game if i find anything that works!
i won't spoil anything, but there's around 30 levels in total and ngl, they do get a bit hard as the game goes on, so no hard feelings if you give up lmao. pro tip: you can't purposefully walk off the path, so instead of waiting for the tiles to appear, try already having the arrow key pressed so you start moving immediately.
thank you for playing and for the feedback!! :D
