for the first time in many, many games (it is my starting position)

I don't know how many runs it took, but I played this game daily for at least last half year, and finally I beat it. Splendid fun, nice mindbender, right in my tastes.

Completed after 30+ tries, that was really hard. Armour didn't help much :) Overall - great! (But still no answer what the prize is). Tiles and sprites are wonderful. Did you consider some mouse over tile effect?

As a desperate Hoplite player who hasn't recover the Fleece of Yendor from depth 16 yet, this is an interesting take..
do you got any info on Doug's work now ?

Another very cool game. I think this takes the best of Maze Machina and Guncho.

It would be nice if it could run on smartphones too.

Graphics are really beautiful. Have you done them?

Hey I have two of your games on my ipad. I love them. When are you planning to release this one on ios?

Really nice game :) Not so hard once you understand what’s happening. My method is to finish my move with zero energy as much as possible. To refill each time the ennemies move.

Really fun!

Took longer to learn than necessary - definitely some lack in tutorial or explanation, but at the same time I had fun trying to figure out what to do.

Notes for others:

• Enemies can either move or act on their turn, not both.
• Enemies get a turn any time you move at all, OR use all energy via spells.
• Sword counts as a move, but other spells do not - you can chain spells such as teleport into arrows without enemies moving.
• You can use all your energy by moving, which is efficient because you only give the enemy one turn and you regain all your energy.
• Enemies can stun lock you.  Take note of which enemies can use range, and which use melee.
• You essentially play this like chess: identify moves that don't kill you, ensure you won't get killed on a following turn, and try to threaten enemy pieces while maintaining safety.
• You'll have to learn interactions with trial and error.  Archers can shoot bombs to explode, grapple hook can pull you into lava.  Knuckle can stun lock against wall, same with shield.  But these can work in your favor as well.  Foreseeing the interactions is really where the big brain plays come in.

I sort of cheesed the last level.  I had knuckle (2), bomb (2), and throw (1) on a corner tile, with some walls to help block.  I could chain all 3 to expend all energy without moving, and use the bomb to stun enemies on the other side, then throw the bomb behind them.  Wash rinse repeat - thinned out the crowd then played normally.  Took me a little over an hour to beat I think.

Please tell me I'm missing something obvious, but how do I quit the game in Windows, short of using the Task Manager to escape it?

Really well polished visually but I was heavily confused on a lot of elements, like why I can't swap with some enemies or what role the side icons play. The energy system was also quite confusing, I figured my turn was up when I ran out of energy, having it reset by emptying it was quite unintuitive.

As far as I can tell there's also no way to reread the tutorial. Perhaps I'm just dumb but there's no way I can internalise a wall of text when I haven't played the game to contextualise it. I opened the game page in another tab an now it's not showing up.

How dare you make such a wonderful game? Who gave you the right, huh?

In all seriousness, this is a really good game, and is a wonderful balance of skill and luck (via spawns). At first I found it difficult, but after 4 hours of constantly playing the game, I think the difficulty is well balanced, though I have yet to beat the game :(

However, you need to fix the menu of the game (pause button), Like I was on the fifth level, and I had clicked the pause button to go to the bathroom. However, I found that once you click it, there was no way to exit the pause, expect for restarting thr entire game, which sucked as I was making really good progress. 

So I sugest you to fix this if you can, otherwise a great game with little to no bugs (that I found.)

Wow. How much did it take to make, five days?! It is very polished.

And very hard, too. I can not pass the first round….

Please, make a downloadable version for PC.
