All the way

Show the smiley the way to walk through the dungeon.

I went for the usual Ludum Dare compo rules: 48 hours, single person, no premade assets, etc.

Written from scratch in ClojureScript
(no game engine, just Reagent/React and lisp).

Graphics are designed such that the game can be ported to pebble smartwatch later on, - i.e. low resolution black/white display.

This is a cool idea! Easy to figure out controls but took me several tries to get to the end! More levels please! :)

Very hard, very cool, nice idea 9.5/10

Very nice concept! I like how it actually feels like programming, because you have to think ahead. This can be certainly expended further. Great job.

This was a great interpretation of the theme! Would be interesting to try steering with the arrow keys (or touch screen)

Very nice and challenging, it fits really well with the theme

When I predicted the movements, I felt absorbed! At the 4 vertical and 4 horizontal, when I failed 6 times in a row I felt discouraged without following how the automata moved, I felt discouraged.

Really great idea. Very challenging and satisfying to beat. One problem I have with it tho is the way you draw your path, it's a bit clunky.

Nice puzzle game. Need more levels :)
Hats off for the job done under compo conditions.

Perfect idea for the theme!

Very cool - you could turn this into a mobile game. I like the planning aspect of it. One thing that could help is getting more time to analyze what went wrong with your attempt.

Very neat little game. Well done.

Oh my God please add on to this game and publish it. I have had so much fun with this game. I constantly come back to this page because I love this game so much. You deserve everything that exists in the universe, good sir, or ma'am. I'm an atheist but now I worship you and your work. Please write holy scripture that I can read it at the dinner table. I'm in high school and I have high anxiety levels, but whenever I play this game my stress decreases and I have a feeling of accomplishment. This is incredible. Please add onto this and maybe publish it. Like huminaboz said, you could turn this into a mobile game.

I got to level 5, but couldn't get past that level. Interesting concept, I had fun playing your game :)

Very smooth game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the MiniLD #70 games, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/WTS6C8jPNVI
