Great concept and cute pixel art - really enjoyed!

I liked it! But, the collisions of the thralls seemed to be a bit iffy.

@aimainiac Yes, I think there's an issue where if one thrall is about to move off a tile, you can't move into that tile on the same turn because it's not empty yet. It should be that the thralls are processed in order, but I'm not sure if that's working right. Visualising each turn for each thrall could make that easier to understand.

Like the music and the pixel art - simple but good. Playing it was a bit frustrating though. And the font is not so easy to read.

good idea i really liked the concept ,just need some polishing to be more good to play

This game is a well-executed implementation of an amazing concept. It took some time for me to get used to the mechanics, but I enjoyed every second of it. Very well done!

Fun game! Took some time for me to get used to the mechanics. Later on realized that you had to wait a bit with one of the thralls to allow the other one to pass safely. I found quite innovative. I would probably like more stronger feedback as to the fact that hitting the thralls on each other is not good. Nice job overall!

Cute style and nice puzzle design. Wouldn't have thought you could make such interesting gameplay with the concept of running around in circles :thumbsup:

The puzzles are really well thought out, pixel art is also looks really clean.

Simple and clean art (font is a bit too simple under smaller resolutions), simple music, nice implementation overall.

Really fun game with great levels and art.

Had fun with puzzles. The collisions when thralls tried to move into a vacating tile was annoying. An indication of who will move first or allow parallel movement would be nice

Nice pixel art and nice puzzles. Rerouting thralls felt hard and it was better just to start over because the new ones just blocked everything. Good job overall though. :slight_smile:

Neat puzzle game, takes some time to think out your strategy, but fun!

tomssuli 2020-10-08 17:23

Nice puzzle! Music and presentation fit together. I would have liked to choose any thrall in any place any moment and not totally reset it, but maybe it would have become too easy.

100th-coin 2020-10-08 17:34

Oh cool, I love the puzzles! I definitely think the second to last level was harder than the last level! I love the artwork and the music is great too! Wonderfully done all around.

vladeeg 2020-10-08 17:39

Cool puzzle, would be cool to play on a mobile I think!

thomas-volpato 2020-10-08 17:48

5/5!!! nice game. The level are smart I think you could give some more levels and publish on some store

arad-hamidsamiee 2020-10-08 17:58

Brain twisting game with good looking sprites and nice sound effects. well done people

samuel-hollywood-summers 2020-10-09 16:04

An interesting concept, and consistent aesthetic. I enjoyed solving the puzzles up until the 5th, which I lost patience for. I noticed in the comments that this bug is already known, but it would be nice to be able to jump onto a square that another thrall is leaving in the same step. If you hadn't declared that the idea is not original, then I would have thought it was, I've not seen gameplay quite like this before. A great submission, which I enjoyed playing!

I like this kind of puzzle game. The fact that you are making paths for differents characters is perhaps not enough to match completely the theme, but this is a very good concept anyway. The retro style is clean. In level 4 I found this bug where the two characters knock out when they are close, even if the respective paths don't overlay. But whith some improvements it must be a nice small game.

Nice job, I liked this a lot. It seemed easy at first but at level 5 had a jump in difficulty for me. Took me some time to beat that level.
