To be honest, I haven't managed to succeed the last level so its hard :) This is why I add the "V" key to skip levels. I want the player to see the last words of the princess

The invisible blocks are a real pain in the ass.

Also, you can't move diagonal?

This is a pretty fun but hard game.

@Martze - It depends of the screen, decrease the brightness of your screen to see them correctly. In fact they are not invisible but a little bit darker than normal blocks
- Diagonal? Too easy! I want the game to be hard!

@zairon Thanks!

I loved the simplicity of the mechanics and even the graphics, they're nothing extraordinary as you surely know, but they're very cohesive. A few things on the gameplay:

- Bullets are cheeky, can't see them coming! Maybe that's fair enough, they're smart traps.
- The red blocks are cheeky too! You necessarily have to die to uncover them.

Besides that, it's great! Good job!

@siondream Wow thank you ! I know the red block are cheeky, but on my screen they are a little bit darker than normal blocks. I should make them darker.

Very challenging, i will need much more patience to beat it. I like the idea, but i could not realy grasp the bullet patterns, so sometimes it's more luck than real skill or learning. An option to move diagonaly would be great, or at least use the last key pressed, instead of having like UP overide a LEFT input. Good game.

Well, you didn't lie about the difficulty! The 8th level is haaaard!
For the game itself, I liked it! Again a simple creation nicely made and with a good difficulty. Great!

Good game, good challenge. Not the most original but a lot of game done really well. Well played

P.S. I used my winning time machine to go back and stop any other time travelers from changing the theme to potato ;)

Fun and interesting game. Challenging, but not frustratingly so. Although the speed-tiles are more of a hazard than a help :P Got up to but not past level 8.
