Cool minesweeper like visuals but with an entirely different concept, eventually I figured out that the loading bar was a simple distance check, which made it less interesting, and more annoying when you're unlucky and get sent back. It feels like there's untapped potential in the game, some extra mechanic could make this very interesting! Nice SFX too.

Very nice visuals. The gameplay gets a little trivial after working out there are only two axes, so you can just go left/right until you find the correct X position, then down to the goal. Overall a very solid entry though.

Really amazing polishing for the development time. really loved the visual effects.

The gameplay is decently simple to get a clue of, using the loading bar as a clue is a great idea. In addition, the transition of the map seemed really smooth: From the top of the loading bar to the bottom of the loading bar, and from the edges of the maps. However, I didn't get further then guess and check... I don't know if there is a subtle hint about the numbers I can't go to. If not I feel like a subtle hint would be nice.

Great job!

Impressive level of polish, it feels really good. On the gameplay side, I feel like I don't make any choice when navigating in the level, do I misunderstand a part of the game ?

I absolutely understand nothing about this strange wandering, I love it!

Nice - fun gameplay loop! I was a bit confused at the start of level 2 as the loading bar wasn't moving, good tip to move from one side to another by moving off the edge of the map
