really nice game ! clear instructions and solid graphics :)

Wow this was pretty challenging. Good atmosphere and fun to play as well! There were a few gems on some levels that seemed impossible without getting caught and losing a few points but I might have just been missing something.

neat, has a bit of a necrodancer vibe to it

I like that game! It's simple and easy to understand. I liked the clean look of the graphics, and the music really fits the game. I hoped there were more levels, but I know how hard they can be to make :) Good job!

I enjoyed this game a lot. Great artwork and audio. Terrific level design with all the goblin patterns. It was challenging but not impossible. Really great work there. The only thing I would say is I feel that the score depletion was a little harsh for getting caught. I was at zero for most of the game :). Would be a really great game to try to speed run though since everything has a specific pattern. Overall, great game I enjoyed it a lot. Really great work. Cheers!

fun to play! I really enjoyed playing this, though it required a bit more brainpower than I'd want it to :) loved the music!

Nice game but I feel like you lose points way to quickly and that you shouldn't lose any until the very first move in a level so you have time to study it, also changing the color of tile bellow the goblin if it's about to be of it would great visual feedback to help you react quicker

I love me a good dungeon puzzle. This is a thinker, too! I got myself on the leaderboard *patpat on back*

Love the leaderboard, makes you feel like you're part of something bigger.

Nice little pixel art game with solid level design!

This is a great little game, super engaging and fun to figure out. Thanks for your work.

Great entry! I like how clearly it was explained how to play and it wasfun to figure all puzzles out during playing. Leaderboard is a good idea as well! Really polished, really cool, I may try it again to get to the leaderboard so it has a huge re-play value for me :D Keep up the good work!

Nice gameplay. There is a great work on the level design and I think that, in a further version, some levels should add new mecanics (like push buttons, doors, water, etc...). More diversity in the mechanics would be a game changer for your concept :thumbsup:

I found the graphics simple and funny. I don't like that your score drop down by seconds while all the game is turn by turn. I would prefer a score that decrease on each move.

Nice job for this jam :smile:

Nice work ! Leaderboards, differents patterns for goblins, funny pixel art and very cool music ! We want more levels with more mechanics. :) Had a pleasant time playing your game. One of the few where I went all the way !

cute game, love the name

really interesting ideas with the score draining mechanic, definitely made me rush through some of the later levels and get hit more which I think is what you were going for.

nice choice of music as well, I know you didn't write it but I think it fit nicely and helped elevate the mood

very cool to see a high score board at the end as well

Very well done game. The movement felt kinda slow when you were trying to beat the score but overall I enjoyed it a lot!

c4scar 2021-05-02 21:57

Interesting puzzle game! The graphics were nice and cohesive and the audio fit well. It was cool how the score decreased as time went on so that even though it is turn based there is still pressure to act fast.

[Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=00h48m29s)

I will return for this high score, you mark my words. I love this weird genre of turn-based stealth. Feels like a mix between Crypt of the Necrodancer and Thief, which is pretty awesome! Definitely a unique concept to me. :)

We played your game two days ago on our stream. here is a link to the exact place in the video archive if you wish to see it again: https://www.youtube.be/watch?v=aC3sZsRjx5g&t=665s

This is really a cool game and I can see player trying to speedrun it to reach the best score. I would just adjust the goblin movement so they match the player, or adjust the player movement so they match the goblin. Turning should be 1 turn for both or 2 turn for both.

That would remove the only issue I can see in this game!

Congratulations!

The game was pretty fun to play and I loved the audio, it is stuck in my head now ^^

I made it to the end of the game! My score was just barely over 1,000 due to frequently getting caught, but hey- I had a fun time playing the game! Nice work.
