Okay, I love this puzzle game! The concept is unique, I haven't seen something like this before. And it works well! The graphics are simple but everything does fit together, very clean. The visuals are also helpful for a player. It's a nice touch to make the colors fade into a darker color when you can not walk on them. Also the arrow that tells the player why they can't continue is very user friendly! Thank you for adding an undo button as well (╯▽╰ ) It has saved me from a lot of mistakes. Maybe the next step could be to add a 'reset' button, to undo every move that has been made? Overall it's a fun little puzzle game that easy to understand thanks to the clear instructions. Nice job!

The idea is pretty fun, but I will say the rules is a bit too complex. But else a good little compo game.

I beat most of the levels without actually thinking over them. So the rules aren't really clear. The undo system works nice and it is a good idea to make something with 10 moves based on the color. At least that was what I thought was happening .....

Really well made puzzle game. I liked how the clock sprites actually matched the moves as it improved readability.

It's always cool with a puzzle game where you can first bruteforce it, and afterwards think about more clean solutions. Not getting stuck. Great work.

Great puzzle game. And it has Undo button which is great. Better visuals and some audio would be nice but even without it's very good and unique submission.

Really cool puzzle game. Took me a good 30 minutes to finish this. I really liked the graphics but I did feel like this could have used some kind of audio to improve the experience. Other than that I had a good time with this game.

A very clever concept, but I would restrict the total number of moves you can perform on a level, since in most levels you can just walk in circles until you get the correct color.

Took a little time to understand, but after that it was a really interesting puzzle game! :D Good job!

Some audio or visual feedback when you can't progress in a certain direction would make the initial learning phase a little easier. Without the feedback, I continually retried accessing the area initially.

Really well thought puzzle mechanics, I enjoyed it (although I got stuck on the 5th or 6th level, the one with the loop on the right :stuck_out_tongue: )
