Nice short game :) I didn't see how the trail trapped me at all, because I could just go through it, but wtv. I think making the white enemies unkillable takes away from the limitation. But either way, good work :)
My explanation is: when the white one touches too much of the players’ green poison, it will "die" and stop moving for a short while. That still kind of follows the limitation, haha. Hope you have fun!
