    Not being able to spend a move to 'wait' makes this game concept a lot harder.

      true, although I think tyler added some additional challenge by not just turning in place to move time forward.

    Reminds me of the Deadly Rooms of Death series, and given the name probably a bit intentional on this game's part. More a possible 'inspired by', since there's some clear differences in mechanics. Namely different way of attacking, and the monsters stay on the same tile in this one. There's... a lot of that series, so if you enjoyed this, it's at least worth a look.

    • @voidify3
      @voidify3 Год назад +4

      I started playing that series a couple years ago because of the thinky puzzle games discord. It’s got some cool puzzle design but I lost interest because the graphics are so ugly lol (to be clear, pixel graphics can be beautiful, low effort graphics can look fine, but DROD’s graphics are just… ugly. Also the limitations placed on undo in DROD create tedious artificial difficulty that isn’t present in modern grid puzzlers)
      Edit: oh, this game reproduces the tedious artificial difficulty :/ that’s a shame I would have bought it otherwise

    • @vib80
      @vib80 Год назад +3

      @@voidify3 Modern DROD has had unlimited undo for a long time now, because it is a puzzle game. Early DROD, though, wasn't actually a puzzle game, it was more tactical combat with occasional puzzle elements. Limits on undo make sense there... execution was most of the game play. With a little bit of undo I can mindlessly blast through the first game in no time with no thought. But I've also played the Architects Edition version, which has no undo. There were only a couple rooms where I missed it a little bit.

    Beat this one a couple of weeks back and while it's not the biggest or most difficult puzzle game, it does do some interesting things.
    Like the opt in easy mode or the way levels evolve with some traps. Also enjoy that the story sort of explains the weird situation. Solid game and hope the dev keeps it up.

    If you like this game, you absolutely *have* to check out arrowmancer. You're lining your characters (who are witches) up on a 3x3 to deal damage, themed as casting spells by dancing with eachother.
    But how you line them up to get damage changes with every match, and your team will have preset patterns for each charcter, making some characters flow really nicely, while others feel just so bad.
    All in all arrowmancer feels very much like this game, surprisingly! And another surprising thing about this game is hiw well (at least the early levels) simulate combat fundamentals (keep away, strafe, nearest first, keep all enemies in sight).

    I noticed a lot of "stutter stepping" to off-set the timer of traps. But couldn't you just simply switch directions back and forth as well (as long the spear has room, of course)? It felt like at a lot of points you needlessly ran back to stutter step, instead of just turning right and then left again.
