I went from being frustrated by not understanding the movement mechanic to being mind blown when the penny dropped. Very cool game, well done!
This is so weird, but so cool ! Completed 20 levels so far, I like it a lot
You need to make the special movement rules more explicit. This is a terrible experience and trial-and-error does not give enough feedback for random players.
its not “you can normally move but stay in place sometimes”, but actually “you don’t normally move but can sometimes”, that might help you figure it out
Thanks for the feedback. I updated the first few levels to try to smooth out the learning a bit. Also a hint system if the players are still struggling a bit. Hope this helps!
I was going for a more discovery approach, since the movement system is so obscure and satisfying when the player discovers what’s going on.
Genius at work...incredible
i love the movement, i love the animation polish, the circles YOMMY! Sometimes I get stuck at tiles and ccannot move forward like there is a wall there though, pretty frustrating for my green normal snake
