I found that when I changed the size of the game (either by the in game toggle, or by going fullscreen), all the buttons stopped working and I had to reload.
Sorry about the resizing bug - thanks for reloading to give it another go! :slight_smile:
All the levels are quite easy. So I went directly to level 15, I beat it by using only half of the arrows, and the electrons used half of the paths.
The game displays in a window too high. Despite my (quite) big screen, I had to put the navigator in full-screen to seel the whole height.
edit: there is a speed up!
I'd quite like to come back to it to make some more levels after rating is over so I'll keep it in mind for then.
Puzzles were simple enough to not outstay their welcome, and I loved the simple pixelated art style.
Overall a solid polished entry. Awesome work!
Cheers!
EDIT: Forgot to mention how cool the name of the game is! :D
I appreciate the little QOL settings, such as the game pace switches and the quick restart button, and I'm impressed by the amount of levels you managed to create within the span of the jam.
There's a good amount of polish on the sfx and graphics, although I've encountered a bug where the title screen song keeps playing while in gameplay.
Good job overall.
