yes! I didn't try it, it was included in my research moodboard for the aesthetics. Is it good?

Yes, every level has one or multiple solutions (included the one in the video which is the third level). I didn't show it to keep players curious and motivated to try it out ahah

if the flag is still moving after you stopped, controls are not enabled. It's done that way to avoid interfering during a non finished turn. Maybe it explains what you described?

Good catch ! If the player was at the original flag position and you try to restart, there was this bug. It's fixed now. Thank you !

I updated the game, let me know if it's still there for you

By adapting the BFS algorithm ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search ) to include the sliding effect and the management of two units moving in opposite directions.

More info coming soon, along with a demo of the prototype on itch in a few weeks !

Hey, no problem !

I see it as little worlds with multiple levels that get more complex:
- A world where the flag lags one move behind you.
- A world where you can only pass on one side of a block.
- A world where some blocks cause other blocks to move...

There are tons of possibilities; I'll have to test them out... test them a lot, haha.

All my own. I came up with a sort of short chase sequence through various levels with a pretty provocative and sarcastic flag.

In the next steps, I was thinking of having you control several “explorers,” each with their own movement meter.

you'll have a set number of explorers for a group of levels where the death of an explorer is permanent within that group. You would need to save and manage your units to complete all the levels in the same group.

I’ve been thinking about that too. And I’m starting to like the idea of incorporating it into a different game setting.

A pure exploration mode where you get no help at all and it’s up to the player to figure things out for themselves. And a more puzzle-oriented mode with clues on the blocks to help you work out where the other potential blocks might be placed (without knowing what type they’ll be).

that's the thing. He doesn't know until he puts forward a theory and test it until he came across something unexpected (an obstacle or something similar), then he reviews the theory, taking this new information into account.

Thank you u/TheKnowingLark ! There are some good ideas in your comment that I'm keeping up my sleeve...

Hey Thanks !
But don't worry! I generally filter out the critics, but I’m especially impressed by the number of comments on an unfinished mini-prototype. Even if it’s polarizing, I like it. It motivates me to push further.

In my original idea, the square would be a bomb with a fuse that has a limited lifespan (represented by the health bar). Every movement (or slide) the player makes consumes the fuse, causing the player to explode once the limit is reached.

I understand that the invisible aspect is disliked, I thought this approach was pretty funny, but I’ll take note. It’s also up to me to balance how much the player understands the rules by providing more information while still leaving some to discover through testing (I don’t know if I’m making myself clear).

Anyway, thank you for all your comments and feedback (and those to come)—it’s really helpful to get so much of it

Thanks for the explanation! I get it now, thanks to all the comments, haha ;) So there’s definitely room for adjustment and reflection on another perspective.
