I was able to get 34 skeletons coming at me at the same time! It starts to get pretty intense

Lovely art, I couldn't help but feel a little 2 frame animation head bob wouldn't have gone amiss just to add some life to the screen, but it works :) Gameplay is good, get's pretty difficult.

Neat little game! Especially for your first LD and compo no less! I like the art style. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Great graphics! I didn't find it very fun, though, I wish I had been more in control of things. Personal preference, maybe!

A fun little game. The strategy of trying to line up the paths was very interesting, and I think the idea of the enemies defeating each other is cool. I feel like the controls could use a little work though. The hex grid doesn't work really well with a 4 directional control scheme. I think the hex works well with the gameplay and aesthetic but perhaps it could have been controlled with the mouse?

Good art, good concept. Only small issue is that the skeleton AI isn't quite transparent for a strategy game, where you win mainly by manipulating enemy AI. A simple indicator of where the skeletons strikes next turn could be an easy fix (thining about Into the Breach).

All in all, really interesting concept, has a lot of potential with different kinds of enemy and different environment tiles. Good job!

really fun little puzzle game - i could have done with more feedback when i was accidently trying to move into a non valid space - diagonals especially i found hard to figure out , trying 2 -3 times before realisng the skeletons where moving in on me and i was trying to move into a tree accidently haha

Interesting concept and I love the art. I did have some difficulty with the movement, though. I'm not sure if I was trying to move to invalid spaces or if it just wasn't registering. Regardless, great submission overall!

Cool puzzle and very cute visuals! The controls were a bit unresponsive, maybe mouse controls would've worked better here. I found that moving using two buttons at a time (like pressing DW to go northeast or SA to go southwest) worked better than just using one button.

Nice entry, I really dig the art.

Nice game.Art is cool and the I liked the avoiding/collision strategy. Key presses were a bit unresponsive but if I held the key down the movement worked better.

Controls are very unresponsive.
BTW on first attempt no new skeletons spawned, there was just one following me around (maybe two at the same place and collision didn't register?)

The graphics look good, but would be nice to have some animations. The hexagonal pattern is really weird to play for me with keyboard ;-;

Lovely style! It might sound weird, but for me this game is essentially a turn based Pacman. You try to outsmart your enemies by cleverly navigating a maze. And I like it a lot. Well done!

Love the way it looks, really cute style. Simple yet fun gameplay too, would have perhaps been nice if there was a simple sound track over it, but other wise very nice

Cute graphics and interesting concept, controls felt a bit laggy however!
