I can't find any downloads links. The itch.io page ain't got one :\

Nice little game! My only suggestion would be to make a button (or set a hotkey) for restarting the level without going back to the menu. If there was one, I couldn't seem to find it. But I loved the puzzles and I had fun with it!

@tudvari Fixed it! I had to rush this submission due to work so I must've messed up something

This as a fun little game to play through. Would love to see more of this, I love games like this that give a trial and error to figuring out the route to take to complete it.

Few things to point out that was mentioned on the stream * Adding a restart/replay button to the pause menu would be nice. There's on there when you get a level failed, but not on the pause menu. For a game like this with trail and error, being able to quickly restart is a must for the player * I was a little confused at first about the "You can cross up to two blocks in front of a guard". At first i thought this meant I could be two tile distance away in front of a guard before they saw me. Figured it out though that it meant literally crossing over only two of the brown spaces in front of guard. * There were a few times I was inputting to move, but it didn't seem like it was accepting my input. Not a gamebreaker.

Overall, this was a solid entry and would love to see more levels and play through them.

Here is a link to the play through on the stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297559979

Nice rules, nice concept, yeah I would have been happy if I could have used a restart button, but not a big deal. A little cutie game, I enjoyed the levels, I would play more if there would be.

Pretty well polished for a first submission. Good job! Nice profile pic!

The simple but functional game, Had no issues with running or playing. This was unfortunately not my cup of tea, but I can see the appeal for other gamers that enjoy this genre. I think more could have been added to improve the game with the time you had, but as I do not know your programming/game development skill. You did a good job of creating a game.
