this is a really fun and challenging puzzle game! nice work!

Very solid puzzle game. From the first level I was engaged by the enemy diversity.

slimabob 2016-12-12 05:39

Awesome game! Played it all the way through, and the map maker was a very good addition!

candycreep 2016-12-12 05:40

I really had to use my brain on this one. Well done! And I love the simple graphics. Works perfectly with this game.

I had a hard time figuring out how the enemies worked. Would be nice with a little "helper" that described how the enemies behaved. Or maybe it's just me being too stupid to figure it out on my own x)

I like it, good idea and nice game play!

Thank you very much for this game! You should make a mobile version. This game is challenging (for dumb me) and make brain work! Saved source code, will try it until every level will be completed!

I got stuck on level 7. X3
Here is an idea, maybe you could change the player's patterns for different levels. :D

Really fun and challenging, really made me have to thing at times!

kadadev 2016-12-12 05:55

Wow this is awesome, chess players will love this game!!

The level editor puts this over the top

tauka 2016-12-12 06:35

Absolutely loved the game, feels like playing a chess, but entertaining one with cool animations

crazyal02 2016-12-12 06:51

Level 7 broke me

justinooncx 2016-12-12 06:52

A really fun puzzle game! I wish I could say more about it, but I can't really see any glaring flaws at all. Well done!

spacerelated 2016-12-12 07:09

Wow. Really cool concept. Makes my head hurt. Got to level 8, but couldn't beat it. I like games of perfect information like this.

Really nice game. It does indeed remind of of Hoplite.
I just think there is too much "running after enemies until they hit a wall".

wevel 2016-12-14 15:17

Very nice game, some difficult puzzles, great work

zarkonnen 2016-12-14 18:07

I really like Hoplite, and I really liked this too. :D

Apologies, I was doing some maintenance on my site.

Great little game! Some background music would have been a nice touch.

mar3k 2016-12-30 18:22

Really fun game! I enjoyed playing it a lot! GJ

haveachin 2016-12-30 18:35

Very nice game! Keep it up!

ringlangmail-com 2016-12-31 12:32

The best game I've played so far! Puzzles are challenging but not frustrating. Nice graphics and retro sound. Glad you add map maker!

kevin_b 2016-12-31 13:17

Cool!
I love the map maker, the simple but efficient gameplay and the retro graphics.
Good work!
I really enjoyed this.

thomz12 2016-12-31 13:22

Tricky game! Had fun playing it! Well done! :)

oskardevelopment 2016-12-31 14:02

Fun that you were able to make so much content and variation with so little game mechanics! I thought that level 7 was a lot harder than level 8.

nino9612 2016-12-31 17:05

Awsome game buddy xD. I like the fact that you developed a map maker keep it up

kato9 2016-12-31 17:12

Very cool, I've played Hoplite and I think you've translated the mechanics pretty well here. Of course some power ups or different abilities would spice things up, but for 48 hours this is very solid. Nice retro sound effects too!

xanjos 2016-12-31 22:16

Managed to get up to level 2 but that was a pretty fun roguelike/puzzle game.

automatonvx 2016-12-31 22:35

Fun, stripped down puzzle strategy, never played or heard of hoplite so I don't know how original this is, but its certainly fun and well put together either way.

ciaodavinci 2016-12-31 23:11

Thanks for this game! Really enjoyed playing through it - the aesthetic felt consistent and it matched up well with the music.
Took me a couple tries, but I beat level 8.

I hope you keep working on this, there's a lot of potential here!

themonsterfromthedeep 2017-01-01 06:42

This is a very cool puzzle game. The graphics and audio style are very consistent, and make this is a very solid entry.

cjke-7777 2017-01-01 07:27

Great, this is a really addictive game

eruiz00 2017-01-01 16:56

Nice idea and like these pixelate sprites. Well done!

etherealwhisper 2017-01-01 23:23

One of the simplest yet most satisfying to play entries in this Ludum Dare. Everything worked smoothly, and level design was nice. The only thing that felt a bit out of place was the audio, but that might just be personal taste :P
Great job! ^-^

blackbulletiv 2017-01-02 00:16

Very nice puzzler concept with decent graphics too. Well done.

ijzm 2017-01-02 00:17

I'm reminded a lot of Nitrome's Rust Bucket, but the stakes seem to be higher - for instance, an attack can span over multiple squares in a single turn. This is interesting and makes simpler levels a lot more challenging.

The sound effects are a tad too squeaky for me, and the art is good. I don't really see the theme in here, but I can get behind your justification a bit, seeing as you never really move out of the view of the screen. Nice level comments btw. :P
