Detour by Dustyroom
Objective:
Don't let the Cube walk on flags. Let it go around as long as possible.
How to play:
- Click on the card on the bottom of the screen [Left Mouse Click]
- Rotate the shape if needed [Spacebar]
- Place the shape completely on the blue path [Left Mouse Click]
- To put back the picked card, press [Esc]
- Pause [P]
Misc: - Once the Cube steps on the '+' tile, you get the bonuses: - A shape card - Shuffle — changes all the cards - x2 - duplicates the cards

Feedback: The camera gets stuck sometimes and it's hard to see allowed places to put blocks. Would love to see right click to cancel placement and scroll wheel to rotate.
Side note: my condolences for what is being done to your country. Be safe.
i think i dont like that you can actually win, since that kinda conflicts with the theme of the jam
One of my favourites, good job.
I like the simple clean presentation, chill music.
I feel the tutorial screens are not particularly useful as there are a few too many screens without any context. But as the mechanics are simple it does not really matter.
As a small nitpick I wished clicking on another card would swap it, instead of having to press esc to deselect.
I would definitely play this some more! Especially if you can add some more scenarios, like maybe multiple enemies to block etc

But seriously though. This game is amazing. The UI looks clean and very polished (the kind of UI I want to go for in my game(s)), the visuals simple but pleasing, and the minimalistic music really gets you in the mood. I really see the potential for this game to win Ludum Dare.
