This is a new game genre for me, and I love it! Unfortunately, I seem to have gotten stuck on the fourth level when I tried to redirect my character right after a pause (the character just stays still on the arrow after the pause, no matter what I do)
Great game though!
Thanks for the feedback archfan7411! Unfortunately, the pause button is a little bit bugged. I recommend not putting pause tiles right next to other tiles for the time being, but I will fix it.
I like this game! Excellent idea!
If the number of arrows is limited, this will be a very strategic and fun game
Thanks for the feedback huozhedexiaoc! That will be coming soon! I didn't have enough time to implement it, unfortunately.

good idea, but I find I dont understand how to use pause button, and I hope your game can save buttons I put last time.

Arrows, arrows everywhere! ⬆️

Game
Oooh, a **visual programming puzzle game with action elements**, since monsters move in real time! That's interesting! Have you ever played a game by [Zachtronics](https://zachtronics.itch.io/), by chance? Programming puzzles is their specialty (and solitaires, I guess?)!
I had to stop playing before the last level since I got **stuck after landing on a pause tile**, just like @archfan7411 said.
A good idea to make playing the game smoother would be **hotkeys to pick up arrows**: `W` would pick up ⬆️, `A` would pick up ⬅️, and so on, making placing them easier!
Distribution
Please **mention the platform your game is for** somewhere on your page: I'm on Linux, and I wasn't sure if your game could work on my PC until I downloaded it!
The puzzles are well made, and I like the mechanics. For future improvements, maybe more limitation to the player could make it more interesting. Nice game!

Very nice idea! I agree with the previous comment on limiting the arrows to make the game more strategically difficult. Good job!

Cool idea to make a game around visual programming. Hopes this game idea will have a nice future !
Could not get past the first pause button level. Otherwise a neat implementation for a puzzle game.

Unfortunately I got stuck on the 4th level with the pause buttons like others have mentioned. Good puzzle game though, with a few more mechanics in you can start inventing more mechanics simply with the in-game tools. As you mentioned you'd be continuing with the game, fast-forward buttons would be nice as well as keeping your tiles in place when you die so you could edit them.

Nice puzzle game! You could add a "hard mode" where the number of arrows are limited. Overall, good job!

Nice job :)
Nice puzzle game! The graphic is simple but the game mechanic is very cool and deep!

I really like puzzles like that! Interesting take with real-time timing. The art styl is nice too. Only thing to correct would be, as other mentioned, getting stuck on pause button. Good luck with further development!

Amazing game! I had a great time playing it 😃
Excellent game! You should make this a full title. ❤️
Nice game! Interesting mechanics that are built up in complexity as the levels progress, although I hit a bug in one of the levels that wouldn't let me progress. Cute pixel art and a good level of difficulty, requiring thought but not too punishing. I look forward to seeing where this goes!

Fun game! Interesting blend of real-time and programming. I'm sad about the anti-octopus specism, I thought they were friendly at first. I found that you can overlap instruction tiles to make sort-of diagonal move tiles, which is probably a bug but also kind of fun to play with.
Good entry and fun take on the ice puzzle game. I can tell you had a lot of ideas but were limited by the jam time 😅 Keep on makings games!
Good puzzle game. But it's bug with Pause button. You should made a full game from this ;)
