Tech Used:

- Audiacity. (Audio modifications)
- sfxr.me (Sounds)
This time I decided to change my tech stack for Ludum Dares to explore other options, so instead of using Unity or Haxe (A very robust option to have something working quick), I decided to explore C++ and Raylib. I was a bit afraid at the beginning as in this context is a bit riskier than other options but in the end I've come with a nice workflow to be able to compile for the web in a WYSIWYG fashion which is nice.
I hope that you enjoy playing my game as much as I've enjoyed making it! Thanks LD community you are the best ;)

It would be really cool to polish this up! Could be a fun puzzle game to release
Thanks again for your review :)
So yeah super recommended to everyone that might be considering C++ and raylib as their weapon of choice for the next compo :)
Thanks for playing @justaroom I'm glad that you liked it :)
Yeah haha the real game starts there, yeah that was the level that convinced me that the game design was good enough as when I was doing it I was mmmm no-one will enjoy this :)
Good job!

The core loop felt good on this one and I think you could expand this really easily to more levels. Just add some polish / juice to the game and it would be really good. Nice work!
Other than that the game feels super smooth, pixel art looks nice, and I like the relaxing music a lot.
Kudos to you for doing the compo :v:
level portions added much value to the game. It doesn't seem to affect
strategy much at all, and doesn't add enough difficulty that I was really
thinking about it all that much, especially in the later levels.
