This was a cute puzzle game! I enjoyed it and played it through to the end.

It took me a while to realize that I could move and use an action on the same turn, but once I figured that out the puzzles were really satisfying. It took me a few attempts on most levels but I didn't feel like I was too stuck on any of them. The game made me feel smart, which I think is the goal of puzzle games, so congratulations!

Also, the music is A+. I've kept this tab open to just keep it on as background music :)

It took me a moment to understand how the game works, but it's a very good use of the theme, if not the best i've seen in this jam, congrats!
The game needs to be polished, but it already works well, art is cool, music works, and i've got this feeling of exploring a tower.
The game is not as bad as you think, it is actually pretty good!

Hey this is a very nice puzzle game. It lack some polish around controls, which makes it clunky to control and get a hand of it. But once you get passed that the puzzles and actions you can do create a nice gameplay!

Really liked the concept. The UX design for the input system could use some work. Felt a bit tedious to walk to the stairs after the puzzle was solved.

Took me way too long to realize that I can move and attack. Some hotkeys would have been nice.

Pretty good game! Compo as well so I wouldn't be so hard on yourself! Having 10s to complete each level is a great use of the theme and although you're dropped in at the deep end and have to learn how the move and actions can be used it works really well! Only glitch I noticed was on level 3 after shooting the target the character couldn't move into the spaces where the pillars previously were? Great game though!

Interesting game. The controls are strange, but you get used to them pretty quickly. It was a little difficult at times, but it's a puzzle game :) I passed the game with great pleasure. Good result!
