Unfortunately I don't think the mechanic fully clicked for me, I don't think I understood how it works in the end :/ But I was still able to get to the end using what I learnt and I have good things to say!!
The art, juice, polish and definitely sounds are top-notch! Really good stuff, fun theme for the game and intuitive UI. Enemy design is a highlight as well! And I love those dots representing the paths hahah, very satisfying :)
