Hi there.
Thanks for trying my little game and for this awesome feedback.
The hardness here comes from not having a lot of time to think of how you can solve the level.
Limited time also makes us panic and rush things, and that is where the fun comes from in this game.
More challenging gameplay is more rewarding when we solve it.
Nice puzzle game with challenging level design. This being made in pure JS is what even made it impressive. Well done!
Great little game! It's rare that you see a puzzle game where you have to complete the puzzle in such a short amount of time. It was an awesome challenge! I think it's super cool that you've build everything in pure Javascript. You've managed to pull it off splendidly! In your opinion, what was the biggest challenge when you were building this game?
Anyway, well done, I enjoyed playing! I hope you've had a great jam :D
Hi there.

I'm glad you liked the idea and the challenges.
One of the biggest challenges I faced was to make sure that the collision system works as intended as it had so many bugs.
Also, if I have to change one thing about how I developed this game, that would be how I update (draw) the objects because I do draw everything in each frame. The better method is to only draw when there is a change for example. Or even better to only draw the object that changed when there is a change.
Nice game! Like the minimalist graphics... Its a great time killer. I've submitted a maze game as well. Tbh I liked this one's idea better!
Hi there.
Thanks for trying my little game.
You can read the how-to-play screen in the game. In addition, I provided more info about that in the description on the itch.io page underneath the HTML web player.
How to play:
- Drag boxes and arrows around using the mouse.
- You have limited time to move things around.
- Boxes block the monster from escaping. Move them away.
- Arrows allow the monster to change direction. Use them wisely.
- Step on all Pressure Pads (if exists) to unlock the door.
Trackpad wasn't fast enough for me to beat level 3! Definitely needs a mouse for maximum manoeuvrability.
Hi there.

I hope you liked the challenge. Indeed it needs fast thinking, precision, and fast movement to beat.
By doing that, we broke the normal role model of usual puzzle games where you have unlimited time to think and solve the challenge. While in this game, we tried to break that and change the "usual".
Remember, great game ideas are creative, different, and unique.
