Great puzzle dungeon crawler,I was lost at first, but soon got the hang . I'm still playing. Congratulations!

Nice graphics and presentation. Reaching the stairs is a big clunky, though. I'm not sure how you do it after you get close and with an open door (he doesn't want to move in, for some reason).

Interesting concept-good game!

Really fun game. Controls were a bit unintuitive at first, but as soon as I figured it out it was really fun.

Great idea for a game! It took me a bit to realize how to move the character to the actual ladder, but once I got a hang of it I really got into a groove there. I feel like the game could really benefit from more mixups like the bomb ghosts to give you more to think about at any given time. By the way i love that real-time mechanic in a turn based game. Well done!

Great entry! I love the idea and it both looks and feels nice. Great audio too. Only thing I would have liked different is the controls. Felt as if I had to click the wrong direction, so it slowed me down a bit.

Challenging, but fun! I got a score of 4 :P Nice work, I really loved the music, effects, and art!

Took a little while to get the hang of the idea, but I eventually figured it out. Nice idea and use of the theme. Music and sounds were also quite good. I feel like it would probably work well as a mobile game, where you could slide the pieces with your finger or just touch the arrows.

very interesting puzzler, expect more mechanism

This looks really polished. I love the graphics and the music.

Loved the game. Took some time to understand how to move. But gameplay is fun. Game is really good!

Took me a while to get it. Fitting to the theme, nice music and interesting concept. I like it!

Controls are bit hard to get at the first time. It took me a while until i found that the map is being modified by moving, i thought it is rubik-cube like game at first (the map rotates). Nice game after I got the controls I enjoyed playing.

Really neat puzzle mechanic. Once I got the hang of it, it was a lot of fun!

Hey ! It's a pretty nice entry you made there ! I found the concept clever and some puzzles were really interesting to solve. Congrats !

hempuli 2016-04-23 22:22

The idea is really sweet! It took me some time to realize that the player can move even if I didn't shift the column/row they're currently in, but after that it was fairly trivial to get to the end. Having stuff to pickup in a roguelike-like fashion could turn this into a real gem!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Very fun little game. Got to floor 8 and had fun all the way. Took a bit of time to figure out how to move the hero, but eventually got it.

Had a lot more fun with this game than I realized. The key strategy I found was simply to trap the soldier in the starting room, then starting shifting it until it's directly adjacent to the goal. Made it up to level 6 with this simple strategy.

I do think the direction the soldier moves could be more obvious. For example, since you already have arrows indicating the direction the row/column will move, it'll be nice if the soldier's direction of movement was also displayed while selecting the row/column to move.

A lot of fun and clever. The tutorial is awful, but once you figure out the mechanics, you will be pulled right in.

Cool game, but i not sure to understand always why i make move or not the guy..
